Inside the Yoga Sutras – The Path to Freedom Online Course
$75.00
Course Description
Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras is a classic yoga text that defines the 8-Limbed Path of Yoga and explores the techniques for achieving union, the ultimate definition of Yoga. Typically a required text for many teacher training programs, The Yoga Sutras is a rich resource of both philosophy and techniques that can be integrated into self-study and personal growth, and brought into teaching classes as tools for contemplation and reflection.
This course is an in-depth examination of The Yoga Sutras, highlighting particular sutras for exploration and discussion. Geared towards those seeking to learn more about yoga philosophy, the course goes through each section of The Yoga Sutras and provides theme-related yoga practices. Your instructor — Diane Malaspina, an applied psychologist and yoga teacher — will teach participants tools for incorporating the content into practice and teaching, both on and off of the yoga mat.
