Fundamentals of Yoga Philosophy course

Hi Reader, I typed the phrase "fundamentals of yoga philosophy" into the Google search bar. An AI Overview popped up. The first sentence was, "Yoga philosophy is based on the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are one and inseparable." This isn't just wrong; it's the exact opposite of yoga philosophy's first and most fundamental teaching: the categorical distinction between the spiritual self and the material mind and body. Google's confused simulacrum of intelligence also didn't have much to offer about the relationship between the ancient wisdom of yoga and life in the here and now. Which is the whole point of my course: to give you information about how yoga philosophy expands our view of reality and to illustrate the many ways that we can use this information to make a meaningful difference—in our lives and in the lives of others. Yoga enthusiasts, and especially yoga teachers, want to know how yoga philosophy can help us move through the world from a position of stability, strength, awareness, compassion, and hope for the future—our future and the future of our planet. Which is why I'm offering this course: FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA PHILOSOPHY Essential Elements of Spiritual Knowledge Live via Zoom on starting this Sunday February 9, 16, and 23 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST All live sessions will be recorded and available for replay Tuition for all 3 sessions: $97

Hi Reader, One of the central ideas in the Yoga Sutras is that the root cause of suffering is ignorance of the true nature of the self. According to the Sutras, our true nature is one of eternally joyful existence. What's keeping us from seeing ourselves that way? The Sutras tell us that there are five obstacles, the first and foremost of which is ignorance. When we’re trapped in a state of ignorance, we can’t see our own true nature. What we can see is our material minds and bodies, which...
Greetings Reader, My body has officially arrived at the threshold of old age. It’s a good thing I’m not my body. Don’t get me wrong: I feel fine, physically and mentally. But facts are facts: the time I have left in this body won't be nearly as long as the time I’ve already spent in it. Well, sort of. The body I’m in now isn’t the same one I was in just a few years ago. To say nothing of the one I was in 50 years ago. None of us actually stays in the same body for very long. Human bodies are...
