I am pleased to present an audio recording of the presentation on the Yoga Sutras that I made to the students undergoing yoga teacher training at the Blue Point Yoga Center in Durham under the guidance of Sara Doyle on Sunday, February 24, 2019:

Brief summary of what we covered:

  • An overview of the yoga sutras with focus on Samadhi
    • Definition of yoga
    • Concept of abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (non-attachment)
    • Kleshas (afflictions)
    • Brief intro to the Samkhya Philosophy
    • Eight limbs of yoga
    • Three stages of meditation: dharana, dhyana, samadhi
    • Sutras related to meditation and samadhi: sutras 1.17, 1.18; sutras 1.41 thru 1.51; sutras 3.1 thru 3.4; sutras 3.7 thru 3.12
