About This Event

The Bhagavad Gita promotes activity. It combines the philosophy of earlier Upanishads with devotional religion, providing seeds of inspiration for physical yoga. Explore its influential teachings with Daniel Simpson, author of The Truth of Yoga and a tutor at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies.



About the Presenter

Daniel Simpson presents ancient texts for modern times. He is the author of The Truth of Yoga, which is a comprehensive guide to the history of the practice. His approach combines scholarly knowledge with humor and insight, making yoga philosophy accessible and relevant to today's practitioners. Daniel also teaches courses online, at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, and in teacher trainings in the UK and internationally. Drawing on a master's degree from SOAS (University of London) and two decades of experience, he aims to help students explore their own path. Once upon a time, he was a foreign correspondent for the New York Times. His first book, A Rough Guide to the Dark Side, tells the story of the early misadventures that led him to yoga.
