Introduction to Vedic Astrology
with Mehtab

July 10 - 11, 2010
Yoga Yoga 360

Explore Jyotish, the science of ancient eastern astrology and learn what your astrological birth chart reveals about you. Taught by yogis to guide seekers on their spiritual journey, Jyotish can help you use your unique gifts to overcome challenges and realize opportunities.

In this two day event, you will learn how eastern astrology works in relationship to yoga, how the moon influences your consciousness and how the planets relate to the chakras, your life and your yoga practice. You’ll discover your birth planet and receive your own planetary birth chart which will offer valuable insights on specific mantras, mudras, meditations and asanas that are best for you! Don’t miss this fun and enlightening weekend with Yoga Yoga founder, Mehtab.

In ancient India, the yogis were masters of the three sister sciences: Yoga, Ayurveda (Healing), and Jyotish (Astrology).  The yoga teachers taught their students these three sciences together to aid in their development and transformation.

Jyotish (literally meaning “the science of light”) was especially helpful in understanding each person’s purpose in life, what they need to work on and fulfill, when they needed to take the next step of their journey, and what yogic techniques and methods would be especially useful to practice based upon their karmas and destiny.

In this introductory workshop to Yoga and Astrology, you will learn:
  • How astrology is used in the practice and teaching of yoga
  • The yogic cycles of the weekdays
  • How the Moon influences your consciousness and your relationship with yoga
  • The relationship of the planets to the chakras
  • Your birthday planet and how it affects your own life and yoga practice
  • How the seven major planets operate in your own birth chart and influence your constitutional makeup
  • How to use mantras and mudras to enhance your individual planetary energies
After registering, you will need to complete a questionnaire with your birth information so that we may provide you with your personal planetary chart!

You will receive a chart of the planetary positions in your birth chart based on your birth date.We will use this information to help you understand how you to best approach your yoga practice to get the most benefits through specific mantras, mudras, meditations and style of asana practice. After you register for the course, you will need to complete a questionnaire with your birth information so that we may provide your with your birth chart!
