The Wisdom of the Yoga Sutras

What is yoga?

For those curious about the deeper meaning of Yoga- the yoga beyond the mat- I present this class as a curious exploration into various translations of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. There are so many yoga students out there who feel the power of the practices and long to understand how it’s working on their body/mind/spirit. Over the past 7 years, I’ve studied the YSP again and again, each time through completely new eyes as my life and personality has evolved. I began my studies as a spiritual skeptic, utterly put off and triggered by the mention of “God.” At that time I found the YSP to be acceptable to my secular mind, and as I’ve grown these teachings have helped me clarify and form a co-creative relationship with my own understanding of Divine.

I sincerely hope you’ll join me on this distance course investigating the following:

  • The history and purpose of yoga

  • Vedic Psychology

  • The 8 limbs of yoga

  • Yoga ethics

  • Karma

We’ll meet via video chat on the following dates from 10-11:30am (Pacific Time):

April 7 | April 21 | May5

Recordings will be available for those unable to attend at the scheduled time.
