Illuminating Our True Nature Course: The Five Afflictions

A Six-Week Series

Wednesdays, January 22nd-February 26th 1:00-2:30pm ET | Via Zoom

Continuing Education Credit Available Through Yoga Alliance 

We all get stuck in hurtful patterns that continue to create more suffering in our lives and the collective. In yoga philosophy, these patterns are known as the five kleshas. Each klesha leads us to create tendencies and karma that move us away from realizing and remembering our true nature and seeing ourselves as separate from one another and the planet. In yogic terms, this perpetuates a constant cycle of pain for us all.

Join Michelle C. Johnson for a six-week series based on her latest book, Illuminating Our True Nature: Yogic Practices for Personal and Collective Healing, to explore patterns of suffering in your life and create pathways toward liberation individually and collectively.

In this course, you will:

• Receive spiritual teachings;

• learn about the five kleshas or afflictions;

• deepen your connection with self and others;

• look at your relationship and attachment to pleasure and aversion to discomfort;

• notice more fully how your actions affect others;

• meet each moment as it arises and ride the waves of life as they come;

• engage powerful and practical meditations, mantras, asanas, reflection questions, and more to reduce our suffering—and the suffering of others;

• and much more!

Sessions will be recorded in the event you need to miss one. Recordings will be available for two months after the course has concluded.
