Discussion of the core concepts of the eight-fold path of ashtanga yoga through reading and discussing the first two chapters of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. In addition, we will apply these concepts to contemporary life experience.
WHAT ARE THE YOGA SUTRAS??
The Yoga Sutras are a collection of texts written by the sage, Patanjali, around 400 C.E. The collection contains what is thought to be much of the basis of classical yoga philosophy and is made up of 196 sutras ("threads" or discourses).
The 196 sutras are compartmentalized into four topical books:
Samadhi pada (what yoga is)
Sadhana pada (how to gain a yogic state)
Vibhuti pada (benefits of practicing yoga regularly)
Kaivalya pada (liberation or freedom from suffering)
