Here is a great opportunity for you to get introduced to the underlying concepts of yoga! These discussions can help greatly in developing a deeper understanding of your true nature and also eliminate stress and anxiety from your lives. I invite you to join me for this 14-day intensive.
In view of the current situation with the COVID-19 virus, and also strong guidelines from CDC and other local authorities, I have decided not to offer this 14-day intensive “in person” at the studio. Instead, I will be offering this class via live video streaming using the Webex platform.
We are going through difficult times. With school closings, employees being asked to work from home, no access to theaters, social and cultural events, restaurants, bars etc., life can become quite stressful. As we all know, practice of yoga is known to provide us with a sense of well-being both at physical and mental levels even in trying circumstances. A study of the Yoga Sutras can help us understand how our mind functions and how we can stay calm despite the adversity we are facing.

Why study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (YSP)?
Because, YSP is not just a manual on yoga philosophy, it is a manual on “life”. A study of this manual will help us understand:
- How to live a life full of peace, harmony and fulfillment
- What is stress, what causes stress and how to manage stress
- How to achieve your maximum potential in life
- What is mind and how to understand its functioning
- What causes suffering and how can we prevent suffering
- How to keep the mind calm and peaceful in the face of adversity
- What is the goal of life and how to achieve that goal
- Does the practice of yoga only involve the practice of asana (physical postures) or is there more to this practice?
- What is self-realization
- … and much more …
