Have you wondered about the philosophical roots of yoga? Are you wanting to weave the ancient teachings of yoga into your life and practice?
At first glance, the terse and concise language in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali can feel impenetrable and distant. However, with guidance, you will find that this text is full of beauty and support for your life and your practice. Studying the Yoga Sutras will expand your horizons of what it means to “do yoga” and will connect you to a long history of practitioners and seekers.
Written 2000-2500 years ago, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali offers a blend of empathy, practical advice, truth-telling, tough love, and enticing esoteric descriptions. In this weekend workshop, we will begin to peel back the layers; we’ll look at key concepts and qualities that are emphasized, and we’ll select certain passages to explore in detail.
As a student of yoga, this text will give you a lifetime of material for reflection, direction, and inquiry.
