Yoga, Business and Leadership - Period 2 Business & Economics Program Fall 2022 Semester - Amsterdam

This course is developed to make students familiar with Yoga as a philosophy and practice through acquiring knowledge about Yoga, understanding its main concepts, analysing them, and applying them in the context of business (entrepreneurship) and leadership and reflections for their own practice of self-awareness. This course extends the self-reflexive study of Indic and Asian Buddhist traditions to similar Indic systems of practice and thought. Buddhist mindfulness and Hindu Yoga share many characteristics in their reception history outside Asia, particularly at present when they have become mainstream phenomena, and therefore deserve to be studies in tandem.
