The Living Sutras

Service Description

Most yoga teachers can guide a class through the eight limbs. Very few have actually sat with the text that gave rise to them. The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali are 196 verses — terse, luminous, and ruthlessly precise about the nature of the mind and the source of its suffering. Written as a map of consciousness, they remain the most rigorous philosophical framework in the yoga tradition. The Living Sūtras is an eight-week immersion that moves through all four chapters of the text — not as history, but as applied inner science. Each session brings the philosophy into direct contact with meditation, breath, and lived enquiry. You leave not just knowing the Sūtras, but having begun to metabolise them. This is Level I of a three-course series. Levels II and III take the journey deeper — into the body science of the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā and the tantric synthesis of the Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā. R3,200
