CAT 536 - Yoga and Mandala: Exploring the Art of Transformation

This course will trace and map various states of consciousness, with emphasis on the intersection between yoga (a system of poses and breathing) and mandalas (circle symbols), as it applies to the healing process. Using the tools of Yoga, meditation, and the therapeutic modalities of mandala-making, it will explore creative ways of fostering healing and awareness of the authentic self. It will explore the opportunity for transformation through body-mind unity and expressive art. The course will be largely experiential with introductory yoga practice, mandala-making, and a creative project. No prior experience of yoga or mandala-making necessary.
