Definition of Yoga, sutras 1.1-1.5 (8/19/17)

I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras on Saturday, 8/19/17:

Brief summary of what we covered:

• Sutras 1.1 – 1.5

With the session in July, we completed the round of discussions on the yoga sutras which we began approximately two years ago. In that go-round we covered all the sutras from chapters 1 and 2 and the first fifteen sutras from chapter 3.

In the August 19 session, we restarted a new cycle of the Yoga Sutra discussion from the very beginning.
