The Alchemy of Kemetic Yoga: The Ancient Egyptian Science of Transformation

In this session we will explore the ancient roots of the spiritual philosophy and practice of Yoga that extends back into the beginning of time. The idea of practices that seek to achieve the transformation and transcendence of consciousness began with the first humans to emerge from the heart of Africa. Ancient Egypt (Kemet) is one of the flowering points of early African civilization that expressed alchemical ideas that included both spiritual philosophy and the practices in the form of postures that are ubiquitously present on the walls of temples, tombs and pyramids throughout the remaining artifacts. We will explore the ideas of breath, movement and postures as expressions of embodiment from the perspective of ancient Egypt.
