What is (Yoga) Philosophy
and how to bring it into your practice, teaching & life?
A Free Webinar for the Curious and Reflective Yogi
Tuesday 30th May 2025, 10 - 11.15 am, on Zoom.
If you're drawn to the history and philosophy of yoga—not just as abstract ideas, but something that can transform the way you live, practice, and teach — this free webinar is for you.
In this 75-minute session, we’ll explore a powerful idea: that, in the past, philosophy was embodied as a way of life.
Through this understanding, philosophy and practice are never separate. Philosophy becomes reflection on practice - and life more broadly. It helps us find meaning in seeking our highest goals and values. In turn, it permeates all aspects of our lives, helping us live, work and be in better, wiser and more meaningful ways.
This webinar is an invitation to reconnect with this understanding of philosophy, embodied as a way of life, in relation to the tradition of yoga; exploring yoga's historical and philosophical past to reflect on our own circumstance and context in the present.
This webinar is for you if...
-
You're a yoga teacher or dedicated practitioner longing for more than just cues and poses.
-
You want a grounded, open, and inclusive space to explore yoga’s rich philosophical roots, and their relevance to your own life today.
-
You’ve felt a disconnect between the philosophy you read about and the life you live.
-
You’re curious about integrating study, spirituality, and embodiment in a way that feels real, authentic & relevant - not overly fluffy or 'New Age'!
We will explore...
-
Ancient and premodern understandings of philosophy — not as abstract theory, but as a way of living more consciously and meaningfully.
-
Yoga as a lived philosophy, with a particular focus on The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali — exploring how they guide us toward transformation in body, mind, and spirit.
-
Why it’s essential to approach yoga as a dynamic, evolving tradition, shaped by centuries of cultural, philosophical, and spiritual dialogue.
-
A gentle dive into two key, interwoven ideas: the aim of practice, and the nature of reality, to help you better understand different streams of yoga philosophy, and how they can enrich your own life and teaching.
-
Plus complementary interactive workbook complete with guided journaling prompts to help you explore how these themes land for you — in your body, in your practice, and in your teaching.
It’s not about memorising, believing or acquiring facts. It's about opening a space for meaningful enquiry - engaging with past traditions to help us find more depth, richness, and meaning in our present lives.
About your host | Floss Harry
Hi, I’m Floss—a yoga teacher, embodied philosophy facilitator, and scholar-practitioner of traditions of East and West. I have studied yoga and yoga philosophy extensively in India, Nepal, and the UK with different organisations, including Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies. I also hold an Advanced Diploma and MPhil from the University of Cambridge in Philosophy of Religion with Sanskrit, where I explored ancient and premodern understandings of the spiritual essence of knowledge, learning, and practical philosophy.
My work today seeks to revive this ancient and premodern understanding of philosophical and embodied practice as a way of life that helps us find meaning, depth, and beauty in life. This path of knowledge, what yoga philosophy calls the 'jñāna mārga,' is about mind, body and spirit together. It is also about community.
Through my teaching and courses, I help yoga practitioners and teachers connect with the deeper roots of yoga history and philosophy, as well as embodied and subtle body anatomy, to find more meaning and value in their practice, teaching and lives in the present.
Welcome to my world! I look forward to creating space for you to enquire into your own being.
"There is a depth and intelligence to her classes because she engages you with both the anatomical processes and the more holistic yoga philosophy"
— Jess, Bristol
"Her teachings invite you to not just think about philosophy, but to feel it, live it, and integrate it into your whole being. I left her sessions feeling both inspired and more connected to myself and my purpose as a teacher.”
— Anna, Cambridge
"I wrote this guide for fellow teachers and practitioners who, like me, want to root their yoga in something deeper than the surface. To recognise that yoga philosophy isn’t just about applying ancient concepts to modern life—but about entering into a living relationship: with ourselves, with others, with tradition. Embodying philosophy as a way of life turns philosophical enquiry into a space of ongoing reflection—a way to explore and pursue meaning, value, and goodness in how we live, practice, and teach."
