COURSE
With John Weddepohl
In Patanjali's foundational teachings, the first three sutras serve as a gateway to understanding the essence of not just yoga but being human and go beyond its physical aspects to reveal our human secret. In this course what we find out is, not about yoga at all, the sutras are all about the Self because the Self is the yoga itself. Before you start talking about yoga you already are the yoga itself. In these accessible talks we’ll focus on: The fundamental aspect of yoga as a tool for self-inquiry. Seeing that Yoga is not solely about physical practices but a profound exploration of one’s true nature Grasping the essence embedded in the three sutras, connecting the dots, and understanding the spiritual and vast philosophical dimensions of yoga. Simplifying the learning process. Gaining a clear and concise understanding of the core philosophical principles, no matter what your level of study this course will break the sutras down into simple easy to easy-to-understand principles. Focusing specifically on these first sutras from the Samadhi Pada. The chapter on integration offers a unique perspective compared to broader Yoga Sutra courses. Each class finishes with a short contemplative meditation to integrate what has been explored in the session. Be prepared to have your view of yoga and yourSelf completely transformed. This is not a dry philosophical exposition rather it’s a deep dive into the wonder and mystery of your humanity and the opportunity to ask the biggest questions and have them answered
