Classical Yoga of Patanjali
A philosophy and discussion weekend
Overview
March 9-11, 2018
Fri 5-9PM • Sat 11-6PM • Sun 10-6PM
Location: Define Yoga, Calgary AB
As part of an oral tradition, the Sutras of Patanjali are intended to be studied in community. Sutras are “threads” of philosophy presented as short, terse statements. These threads reach back in time to when our ancient ancestors first began to meditate and explore the big questions of human existence. Patanjali’s sutras are designed to help you understand the experience of Samadhi, the bliss experienced when the mind is calm.
This foundational yoga text contains ancient wisdom that remains relevant in our modern times. Through the lens of personal inquiry, uncover and demystify some of the most potent teachings of yoga and how they can deepen your yoga practice.
