The Yoga Sutras Illuminated

Service Description

The most famous of all yoga texts, the Yoga Sutra has influenced the development of yoga philosophy and meditation for 1000 years, and recently  underwent a major revival with the popularity of Yoga in the West. It is assigned reading in countless yoga teacher trainings, despite the fact that there is no crystal clear and fully actionable translation of this esoteric text.  A detailed examination of the first sixteen sutras is necessary for illuminating the meaning of the subsequent sutras. These sixteen explain what Yoga is, its goal, its view of the mind/emotions, and what the practice of Yoga consists of, notably relative to discrimination and detachment.  Whether you are a yoga teacher or a student looking to deepen your understanding of the complete path of yoga, this one day primer on the Yoga Sutras promises to bring a new depth and new levels of understanding to your practice.  Jessica Lohrey, Director of the Tree of India School of Yoga, has been studying yoga philosophy for over 20 years and teaching courses for yoga teachers for the last 13 years. A copy of the Yoga Sutras will be provided for this study.
