🌟 Tapas – The Key to Inner Stability 🌟
Presented by Geza Timčák
Tapas, one of Patanjali’s niyamas, has a history spanning millennia. In raja yoga, it is listed as a niyama, yet the restraint of the chitta itself can be seen as the strongest form of tapas. Classical Hathayoga also carries a rich tradition of askesis practices.
But why is tapas considered askesis? Why do Buddhist and Christian traditions, both monastic and lay, emphasise self-discipline? How does it contribute to stability, salutogenesis, and antifragility? And how does it connect to Santosha?
This online presentation will explore these questions and more, offering insights into the power of tapas and its relevance for today’s yoga practitioners — even in an age of “pain-free” and harmony-focused yoga.

✨ Yoga and Bhoga: The Goal of Yoga Through the Lens of History ✨
🎙 Talk by Matti Rautaniemi
Today, yoga is often seen as synonymous with asana practice – a form of physical exercise. People practice asanas for wellbeing, fitness, or spirituality. However, traditional yoga texts present a very different perspective: historically, “yoga” referred more to the goal of practice than the techniques themselves.
In this talk, we will explore how the understanding of yoga’s goal has evolved over its long history. We’ll examine both continuities and changes, and the relationship between yoga, union, and bhoga (experience).
Matti Rautaniemi has been practicing yoga since 2005. He holds a Master’s Degree in Theology from the University of Helsinki, Finland, and has authored three acclaimed books on the history and philosophy of yoga. Matti teaches workshops and teacher trainings across Finland and is the co-host of the pioneering Finnish yoga podcast Maailmanpuu.
