The Yoga Sutra Course

This 8-week course is a mandatory part of the 200-hour yoga teacher training but may also be taken as a stand-alone journey into the world of yogic tools for self-development and expansion.

Over the course of 8 weeks, you will be guided into a profound journey of increased awareness in every layer of your life. We will explore the timeless relevance of the Eight Limbs of Yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras and go into particular experiential depth in our application of and study of the Yamas and niyamas (the moral precepts as presented in the Yoga Sutras).

This class is taught in an experiential live online community format and fosters a deep sense of companionship between the participants. Yoga philosophy is meant to bring yoga into your whole life and become a way of life that brings deeper awareness into the mundane. Through this process, students will uncover obstacles limiting their progress toward achieving the ultimate goal of yoga which is the union between our Spirit Self and Our Human existence. You do not need to have any prior experience with yoga to benefit greatly from the soul exploration offered in this class. Just an open heart and mind and a willingness to grow and shed old layers of your psyche that no longer serve your highest good.

We will study and experience:

• Yoga’s Ethical System: The Yamas & Niyamas

• The Klesha (the cause of human suffering)

• Karma and Samskara
