Yoga Philosophy Courses

Studying the philosophy is what makes the practice come alive.


Yoga has a dimension rarely taught outside India: its philosophy. What underpins everything — what gives the practice its meaning and turns it into a path — are the texts and traditions Yoga has carried for millennia.

What We Study

Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras · Bhagavad Gītā · Sāmkhya · Vedānta · Tantra Sādhanā · and other topics.

Formats

In person at the Āshram and online — to be confirmed.
