Library of Articles

 

 

Through this page you have access to a growing  list of short articles on the subjects of Yoga philosophy and practice, Ayurvedic theory and practice, and the challenges and joys of walking the path of spiritual evolution.  I'm posting these articles not only for general reference, but to give a clearer picture of the issues, methods, and perspectives that may be part of the experience of Yoga Therapy and Ayurvedic consultation.  Some of these articles are expanded versions of the texts found in the flash portion of our site, presented here as Word documents for easy searching and printing for personal study.  Some  are taken from past newsletters, and are 'easy-reading".  Others are more scholarly and in-depth, coming from therapeutic documents used at Renaissance Yoga and Ayurveda.

 

These articles share a broad range of influences, and are inspired by teachers from many disciplines, many of whom I have been fortunate enough to study with in person: Charles Anderson, Geshe Michael Roach, Sogyal Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa, Geshe Thubten Rinchen, Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, HH the Dalai Lama, Kim Schwartz, Ramanand Patel, Dr. David Frawley, Robert Svoboda, Vasant Lad, Saraswati Buhrman, Baba Hari Dass, Byron Katie, and many others. 

 

It is my intention to eventually edit and compile these articles into book form.  If you would like to republish any of these articles on-line or otherwise, please e-mail your request to info@renaissanceyoga.ca.  You can also use this address to ask me any questions that the articles provoke.

 

Namaste,
