Creating Clarity – The Role of Gunas in Yoga & Ayurveda

How do the Gunas inform the Mind?

The Gunas are qualities that pervade all of life. Ayurveda teaches that sattva (balance, clarity) is the dominant guna for health. In Yoga we prize sattva as the goal of practice for a refined Mind.

Yet transformation and change (parinama) are the basis of our human experience which means sattva is ever shifting, rather than a permanent state.

How does Yoga practice reorient us to Sattva?

What do we we come to understand when the Mind experiences this state of refinement?

Perspectives from both Chapter 3 of the Yoga Sutras and Samkhya philosophy will be discussed.

Practices will be given to highlight these teachings.
