Lecture Yoga as an Art of Living

Many people practice yoga for physical relaxation, health and vitality. But yoga also covers other aspects of life. How do you deal with yourself, how do you find your way in the world? What really makes you happy, and what gives you struggle and discontentment? Can you be a free person? What stands in the way of that? Come to the free lecture at the Waalwijk Library on June 26 and discover how thinking actually works and what you can do with it.

Answers to big questions
In this lecture Wim van de Laar will give answers to these big questions from the ancient philosophy of yoga. The philosophy of yoga is very topical and can be of great help, especially in these times of uncertainty and conflict. Yoga is an art of living that teaches you to always take yourself as a starting point in all this.

Wim van de Laar
Wim van de Laar (1961) has been teaching yoga for over thirty years, in Waalwijk and surroundings. He wrote two books, The Upanishads (2015) and Sources of Yoga (2024). Both are translations of foundational texts of Indian yoga philosophy. They deal with what you essentially are as a human being and how to find freedom and fulfillment. In the lecture, Wim is happy to share with you the vast knowledge and wisdom contained in these texts.
