Sādhana Mālā Yoga Sūtra Online Study Course Chapter 1: Samādhi Pāda With Dave Charlton and Ranju Roy

We are delighted to announce that we are offering an online study course on Yoga Sūtra Chapter 1 (Sādhana Pāda) open to all with some experience of the Yoga Sūtra and an interest in working within the Desikachar/Krishnamacharya lineage. This is an exciting opportunity to work with the authors of the recently published Embodying the Yoga Sūtra: Support, Direction, Space.

We will explore each sūtra in detail, offering word-by-word explanations and key ideas from Vyāsa’s commentary. We will expand on the meaning of the sūtra from the perspective of the teachings of Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar and Paul Harvey and also add Peter Hersnack’s unique interpretations where applicable. We will therefore embrace traditional perspectives and practical modern interpretations so that students can appreciate both. We aim to explore how we can apply the Yoga Sūtra creatively in our practice and teaching with due regard for tradition and contemporary lifestyles and situations.

This study course will cover all of Yoga Sūtra Chapter 1 and run fortnightly as an online Zoom session.

Each meeting will comprise of 3 sessions:

• 4 – 5pm (theory)
• 5.15 – 6.00pm (practice session which may include some chanting)
• 6.15 – 7.15pm (theory)

The first session will be on Fri 3rd July 2020 and final sessions on the weekend of 4/5^th Dec 2020

Timings are based on London times.
