In this 20-hour online module, students will develop a robust understanding of the history, philosophy and practice as presented in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Emphasis will be on understanding of the text, both within its historical context, and as a contemporary text that informs your own yoga practice and teaching goals. Students will receive a Zoom link to all live sessions, which will also be recorded to view at at later date.
