Dharma Talk Series: Re-Visioning Yoga
with Gabriel Halpern
A dharma talk is a philosophical exposition by a seasoned spiritual teacher who shares wisdom to help one face life. After 50 years of continuous study and practice, Gabriel articulates the theory behind why practice is essential to the direct experience of clarity and peace of mind.
Yoga has become diluted. If we reduce its vastness to a mere physical practice we lose its luster and the profundity it promises becomes obscured. A much more luxuriant version is available when we diligently apply ourselves to the wisdom being offered. Learn how to take the ancient teachings and translate insight and intuition into one’s life.
