🧘♀️ THE BODY NEVER LIES: Yoga & Emotional Intelligence
Our emotions move through the body long before the mind understands them. Join Isabelle Chatel for an inspiring online lecture and workshop exploring how the wisdom of yoga can help us recognize, embrace, and transform our emotional experiences.
✨ What you’ll discover:
• How the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali explain the connection between the mind and our emotional states.
• Insights from the Upanishads on self-knowledge and the deeper nature of consciousness.
• An Ayurvedic perspective on the rasa — the emotional flavors that shape human experience.
• Practical yoga tools including postures, breathing techniques, self-observation, and body awareness to navigate emotions with greater clarity and presence.
This unique session combines theory and practice, offering a powerful path toward emotional intelligence and self-discovery.

Abhinavagupta and Kashmir Shaivism – Lies Ameeuw
Who was Abhinavagupta (950–1020 CE), and what is Kashmir Shaivism?
Abhinavagupta is considered one of the most brilliant thinkers in Indian history. He was a writer, philosopher, mystic, tantrist, yogi, poet, and also engaged deeply with drama, music, and aesthetics.
Kashmir Shaivism is a synthesis of various spiritual traditions and philosophical schools of its time. Abhinavagupta distilled its non-dual wisdom and compiled it in works such as Tantraloka, Tantrasara, and many other texts.
This lecture offers an overview of his life and work.
Lies Ameeuw founded the School of Ayurveda in 1998 (www.lies-ameeuw.com) and has grown into a pioneer in her field. Through Ayurveda she first came into contact with India, traveling there extensively. These journeys opened the door not only to Ayurveda, but also to Indian culture, art forms such as theatre and music, as well as diverse spiritual and philosophical perspectives.
