About
An Introduction to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras In this interactive introduction to the Yoga Sutras, we will explore the mind and the journey from restlessness and distraction towards one-pointedness, meditation and ultimately going beyond the mind. We will look briefly at: - What is Raja Yoga? - Who was Patanjali Ji and what are the Yoga Sutras? - Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ - what does Patanjali actually mean by Yoga? - The four Padas of the Yoga Sutras - Ashtanga Yoga and the role of meditation - How do we train the mind rather than simply try to control it? This will not be a lecture. It will be an open and interactive session, with plenty of space for questions, discussion and contemplation. Come with your questions about Yoga, the mind, meditation and Patanjali. **No prior knowledge of the Yoga Sutras is required.
