Description: This course explores the archetypal text of meditation in the yogic tradition: Patanjali’s “Yoga Sutras.”

Patanjali’s sayings or ‘sutras’ encompass the entire science of meditation.  But Patanjali assumed that his readers had a grasp of an ancient conception of the human being called ‘Sankhya.’  This course will present the sankhya philosophy that is necessary to understand the Yoga Sutras.  Then we will proceed to analyze the graduated system of spiritual development the Yoga Sutras describe.

Textbook: No text is required, but several key sutras will be chanted each day.  This will give the students something to ‘carry with them’ long after the formal course has ended.

Twice each day, we will practice chakra meditation.  And twice each day, we will practice asana.
