Peter Connolly studied for BA, MA and PhD degrees in Comparative Religion and Philosophy at the University of Lancaster and a BSc in Psychology with the Open University. He has taught Indian religion and philosophy on BA and MA courses for over 20 years and has worked with various yoga organisations throughout that time. He is interested in how people go about constructing histories of yoga and the methods they use for making sense of yoga texts. He is also fascinated by all forms of altered states of consciousness and has trained in both Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis, both of which offer an interesting perspective on the psychology of yoga. His classes are well known for their clarity of exposition and informal style. Some students have suggested that he be cloned so that he can teach more courses.

The concepts of Energy, the influence of the Mind and the emphasis on Practice have been the references for Yoga Teachings and Teachers since the time of Patanjali.
What are these three principles and what is their relationship in terms of the theory and practices within Hatha and Raja Yoga?
How can they be appreciated and integrated in times and cultures very different from their origins?
The day will be an exploration of these themes through presentation, practice, and discussion, drawing on traditional & contemporary Yoga teachings & practices.
