Yoga Sūtra Study & Zoom Webinars

2020 – 2021  Webinar series

Webinar 1. Antaranga-sādhana | The Internal Practice

 

The Program

This ‘internal practice’ is yoga’s multi-layered approach to meditation. We will cover the end of chapter 1 (sūtras 41 to 51), and all of chapter 3 (55 sūtras). The text will be explained word by word, sūtra by sūtra with commentaries, as taught in the tradition of T Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar.

The end of chapter 1 delves on the different types of meditation for the seeker who is ready for them. Chapter 3 presents the three “internal limbs” of yoga – concentration, meditation and complete absorption – and the extraordinary mental transformations that can derive from this sustained practice.

Who is this for?

Committed yoga practitioners and yoga teachers of all traditions seeking to deepen their knowledge.

Webinar 2. Sāmkhya-Kārikā | The Roots of Yoga

The Program

One of India’s oldest philosophies, Sāmkhya is an enquiry into the causes of the universe. It is considered the “sister” school of yoga because it lays the foundations of the yoga system. Anyone with a keen interest in Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtra eventually gravitates towards Sāmkhya study.

The main text of Sāmkhya is the Sāmkhya-Kārikā, a collection of 72 verses presenting essential concepts such as the two-fold nature of reality (matter and consciousness), the evolution of Nature, the 3 causes of suffering, the structure of the mind, the 10 “gross” and “subtle” elements, the 11 sense organs, the 3 constituents of Nature, and more. The text will be explained verse by verse in the context of yoga, with the support of study material.

Who is this for?

Yoga teachers of all backgrounds seeking to deepen their knowledge. Committed yoga practitioners who have read Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtra.
