Going Deeper in Raja Yoga

Raja Yoga is a pathway to liberation—freedom from all sorrow, fear, delusion, and suffering. It explores the nature of suffering from philosophical and practical perspectives and explains how to overcome it. It shows the way to maintain equanimity when facing personal obstacles or dealing with global problems. Ultimately, the study and practice of Raja Yoga enables you to experience the highest spiritual realization and abide in peace and joy always.

This wisdom is beautifully presented in a comprehensive system that addresses all aspects of the individual—social, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

Topics include:

• The nature of the mind
• The experience of suffering
• Attachment vs non-attachment
• Skill and method in spiritual practice
• How to overcome obstacles

On this course, you will have a unique opportunity to dive deep into The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the classical text on Raja Yoga, and learn how to apply these teachings in your life. There will be daily, guided sessions devoted to meditation, Hatha Yoga, and pranayama, as well as lectures, discussions, guided exercises, journaling, and spiritual support sessions.

This program is open to all who wish to deepen their understanding and experience the broad and profound benefits Yoga has to offer. Return home recharged and equipped to make your life healthier, happier, and spiritually focused.
