The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are one of the primary texts of yoga. If you are looking to take your practice beyond the mat, this course is for you. The word sutra means “thread” and these brief, concise threads weave together to outline the complete system that is yoga.
Each class will focus on five or more sutras and break down the meaning of each. While the concentration will be on the first two Padas (chapters) Samadhi Pada (Chapter on Contemplation and Union with the Devine Self) and Sadhana Pada (Chapter on Cultivation of Spiritual Practice), the last two Padas, Vibhuti (Chapter on Accomplishments and Manifestations from Practice and Kaivalya (Chapter on Absoluteness and Supreme Liberation) will also be discussed.
This series will encourage group discussion and reflection as you will gain a deeper understand of how this ancient text is not just a manual on yoga philosophy, but also a manual to help you live your best life.
Each session will end with a group meditation.
No previous exposure to the Yoga Sutras is required. All that is needed is a sincere desire to go deeper with your yoga practice. There will be homework each session to enrich your experience. Swami Satchidananda’s translation is the suggested text, but any translation is appropriate.
$80 for the 4-week series; early bird price of $70 by December 15th. $22 to drop in.
Sundays from 3:00 – 4:30 pm
