I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali held on Saturday, 02/16/19:

Brief summary of what we covered:

We continued the discussion of chapter 2. This chapter covers the concepts of Kriya Yoga, kleshas (afflictions), karma theory, insight into the Samkhya philosophy and the eight limbs of yoga. We covered the following sutras:

• Sutra 2.5 (avidya – ignorance)
• Sutra 2.6 (asmita – ego)
• Sutra 2.7 (raga – attachment)
• Sutra 2.8 (dvesha – aversion)
• Sutra 2.9 (abhinivesha – fear of death)
• Sutra 2.10 (eliminate klesha through merging with source)
• Sutra 2.11 (eliminate klesha through meditation)

You can listen to the podcast as well as subscribe to it on itunes here.
