The Yoga Sutras: a grounded study for modern practitioners

The Yoga Sutras: a grounded study for modern practitioners

This 4-part live course (with replay) explores how yoga’s foundational text bridges classical philosophy with modern life, personal practice, and teaching.

Who this is for

This workshop is for yoga teachers and serious practitioners who want to study the Yoga Sutras with depth, clarity, and integrity. It’s especially well-suited for those who feel dissatisfied with surface-level explanations or purely academic treatments, and who want a grounded understanding of how the Sutras apply to real life and teaching today.

Benefits

Students will gain a clearer understanding of how the Yoga Sutras function as a coherent system rather than a collection of verses. The course helps participants connect philosophy to lived experience, strengthening discernment, ethical clarity, and confidence in both personal practice and teaching.

What to expect

This four-part live online course includes structured teaching, guided exploration of key concepts, and open discussion. Sessions focus on context, structure, and meaning in the Yoga Sutras, with time for questions and dialogue. Each class builds on the previous one to support cumulative understanding.
