10/14 Yoga Sutras Course

Course Overview

The Yoga Sutras for Daily Life
+ Yoga Therapy.

What if the Yoga Sutras weren't just a philosophical text, but a practical guide to upgrading every aspect of your life?

This twelve-month course brings the teachings of Patañjali's Yoga Sutras into lived experience, supporting transformation across the body, breath, mind, relationships, and daily patterns.

Together we will explore the Sutras through a yoga therapy and human flourishing lens, translating these timeless teachings into practical tools you can apply immediately in your own life, in your teaching, and in your work with clients.

Each monthly session is a focused deep dive into the nature of the mind, the causes of suffering, and the pathways toward greater clarity, resilience, and sustained joy. You will learn to observe your patterns, shift habitual tendencies, and apply yogic tools in a way that is both accessible and deeply therapeutic. Rooted in the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, this course emphasizes application over theory.
