This course is for yoga teachers and serious practitioners. Together, we explore yoga’s foundational philosophy with clarity and depth, connecting its insights to real-life practice, ethics, and personal transformation.

The Yoga Sutras are the most immediate source of traditional yoga wisdom for most yoga teachers and students. Connecting the Sutras' teachings to our lived experiences is how we gain access to the Sutras' transformative potential.

The problem: Most contemporary translations and commentaries on the Yoga Sutras either interpret the Sutras through a modern lens that bypasses the traditional understanding or bend the Sutras' to support ideas about self-realization that contradict the self-evident meaning of the Sutras themselves.

And most yoga teacher trainings either don't have the resources to support a thorough exploration of the Sutras or can't dedicate an adequate amount of time to study the Sutras in a truly meaningful way.

In this course, we approach the Sutras as a living text—one that speaks directly to modern questions about meaning, agency, responsibility, and freedom.

Each live 90-minute session combines clear, structured teaching with open discussion, critical reflection, and space for questions. You’ll be invited to think with the text, not simply memorize it.

In four 90-minute sessions, we'll explore:

• What you need to know before you study the Sutras
• How the text is structured — and what the structure tells us about the Sutras
• Why traditional commentaries matter — and how to evaluate them critically
• The 8 limbs of yoga (and why the yamas and niyamas come first)
• What sets meditation in the Sutras apart from other popular forms of meditation
• The role of Īśvara in the Sutras — and why it’s often misunderstood
• How mystic powers really work (and how to use them in a yoga class!)
• How the Yoga Sutras describe the perfection of yoga — and what that means for us

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, non-dogmatic exploration of the Yoga Sutras that speaks to the realities of modern life, this course is for you.
