Dear Colleagues,
Now that the semester has begun to get rolling, I
wanted to share with you a possible resource for you or your students.
The University of Texas at Arlington in conjunction with edX is offering
a MOOC (massive open online course) on “The Science and Practice of
Yoga.”
My understanding is that this course will feature recent
research from scholars of contemplative neuroscience and positive
psychology. I am no neuroscientist, but I have also contributed to the
course a short discussion about the history of yoga and yoga’s relation
to some pre-modern Indian religious traditions.
The course begins
on October 16, 2017. It is free for all who wish to enroll. More
information and a button to enroll is here:

All best wishes,
Andrew
