Course Details:

Another course on the Yoga Sūtra. What makes this one different? This is not another survey of the Sūtra. The goal of this course is looking at Yoga Sūtra and psychology, and the cross over. We will address questions such as:

How are the vṛtti relevant today?
Kleśa are considered obstacles.
How do the four stages of “growth” (Sūtra 1.17) apply to our daily approach to life?
How is svādyāya in Sūtra 2.1 differ from the description of svādyāya as a niyama?
What is pratipakṣa bhāvana (Sūtra 2.33)?
Is Chapter 3 relevant?
How do you differentiate a message from the Spirit versus the Mind messages (Chapter 4)?

Using experiential tools, journaling and discussions we will wind our way through applying the Yoga Sūtra through real life experiences.

3-punch handouts provided. Bring your own notebook or folder.

Required textbook:
