2019 | Chapter IV (2018 down below)
Are you ready for chapter IV? Whether you are new to Yoga-Sūtra study or have already studied chapters I, II, and III, this series of 10 master classes is for you. In addition to the study of chapter IV sūtra by sūtra, each 3-hour session also includes a revision of salient points from previous chapters, to feed your reflection and make connections between sūtras, with something new to discover each time.
Patañjali was a semi-legendary figure, half man, half snake, and one of the most learned scholars of his time (circa 300 to 200 BC). Although he did not “invent” yoga, he was the first to compile its teachings into what became known as the Yoga-Sūtra, a very condensed text (195 aphorisms or pithy sentences). It can be dry or cryptic for most readers, so it should be studied with a teacher who can explain the meaning of each sūtra along with its main commentaries.
The Program
Ongoing review of the main topics in chapters I, II, and III, suitable for beginners and for students who studied these chapters before.
Detailed study of chapter IV: the meaning of each sūtra, commentaries, reflections.
Chanting of selected sūtras with precise tone and pronunciation
The Teacher
Valerie Faneco has studied the Yoga-Sūtra several times and has been teaching it for many years; in 2012 she translated a commentary of the Yoga-Sūtra based on Mr Desikachar’s and Professor Krishnamacharya’s teachings, written in French by her mentor Frans Moors.
Valerie has also been practicing and teaching Vedic chanting for several years.
