Grounding Yoga Practice Through the Study of Its Seminal Texts

YOUR TEACHER

Anyone who has studied yoga philosophy will likely have encountered the Yoga Sūtras or Bhagavad Gītā. For many, this is where the journey into yoga’s deeper wisdom teachings begins. And while these two wonderful texts are more than enough for a lifetime of study, a question of the curious student lingers: what else is out there?

The truth is that we are in a golden age of yogic study. Many previously unavailable Sanskrit yoga texts have been or are being currently translated, giving devoted yoga students a greater opportunity to understand and honor the yoga tradition more comprehensively through textual study.

But what are these other seminal texts of the yoga tradition, and what are they all about? In this seminar, we will survey some of the most important texts of the yoga tradition – many of which may be entirely new to you.

The purpose of this seminar is not to overwhelm you with all that you haven’t studied. It is intended to introduce you to the range of possibilities for yoga philosophical study, and to encourage and inspire those who are already curious and fascinated by the possibility of engaging with ancient texts of yogic wisdom.

• discover a range of relatively under-studied wisdom texts from the yoga tradition,
• learn a little bit about the current state of yoga text scholarship, and how we’re living in a moment of cutting edge research,
• encounter different genres of ancient yoga texts,
• begin building a knowledge of the diverse traditions of yoga through their related texts, and
• plan which yoga texts you’ll want to study next.

Introducing the Sādhana School: Deepen Your Practice, Expand Your Understanding of Yoga Philosophy

In addition to the Seminar Learning Objectives, you'll discover a robust curriculum with the Sādhana School

Whether you've experienced moments of profound spiritual insight or simply feel called to explore the depths of yoga beyond the physical postures, the Sādhana School provides the structure and support to nurture your contemplative education.

Through lectures, workshops, practices and a deep study of ancient wisdom, students are offered practical, time-tested systems that make sense of life’s trials and tribulations.

Our students want to remember who they truly are. They want to live their lives fully and completely, while savouring the entire spectrum of possibilities in both their inner landscapes and their relational lives. There is perhaps no form of healing more necessary than this.
