Online course: Yoga Philosophy

Welcome to an online course that will deepen your knowledge about yoga philosophy, guided by Simon Krohn. This course is for everyone interested in learning more about yoga philosophy and how to integrate this into your own practice, as well as for you as a yoga teacher that wants to learn more and integrate this knowledge into your teaching.

Yoga has the potential to have a transformational effect on your life. Unfortunately, it is very easy to get lost in a yoga practice, and just about any pattern in your life can sneak into the practice. The control freak is likely to become a “yoga control freak”, and if you are a bit too attached to being a success, you'll easily move towards trying to become a “yoga success”. With that said, we all have negative patterns that we get lost in, and the big question is: Are you tired enough of these patterns to do something about them?

If you are serious about letting yoga have a profound, positive effect on your life, you need to look honestly at your life and your patterns and challenge yourself to try something new. This requires both courage and dedication, but it will most probably be worth the effort.

When it comes to applying yoga philosophy to a yoga practice, it is normally a good idea to keep the practice very simple. Therefore, you will experience that the classes taught during the course are generally simple and easy. If, however, you experience pain or discomfort, or that you find a particular yoga pose too difficult, remember that you can always take breaks and that this will not have a negative effect on the deeper levels of the practice.

Simon Krohn is a well-known and highly regarded yoga teacher in Scandinavia. He teaches asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy in teacher trainings both in Denmark and internationally. He is also the author of a bestselling book on yoga philosophy.

Simon’s classes are often dynamic and playful, while always inviting a deeper exploration of yoga and life.
