I wasn't familiar with yoga philosophy before I took this course. I am Christian and I always thought of yoga as Buddhism as being a religion. I learned that yoga is not a religion and I learned about the philosophy of yoga. I liked the part that talked about how we weigh out the discrepancies between finding contentment in our lives while not allowing ourselves to lose all ambition.
