Description

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is an ancient text that is a guidebook for walking the spiritual path. Taught by Robert Jacobs, the course considers the Sutras from the point of view of Tantric Yoga, particularly the North Indian school of Kashmir Shaivism. This is a non-dual school that emphasizes that everything is an expression of Divine Awareness. Along with studying the text, we will practice tantric forms of meditation to help us understand the sutras, focusing on the mantra, the breath, visualizations, the opening of the central channel, and the chakras. The course is both theoretical and practical and provides a slightly different point of view than the Buddhist teachings we’re familiar with from Aaron, Barbara, and John.

Robert studied the primary scriptures of Indian yoga for many years under two well-known spiritual masters. His studies were always undertaken in conjunction with his practices so that the teachings were never merely speculative. The true way to study yoga is through both understanding and practice. This is how the course will be constructed.

We will meet on a Thursday evening approximately every other week starting February 9 and ending May 25. The sessions will be on Zoom and last for 90 minutes, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.

Study tools will be provided as well as assignments for each class.
