Chanting & Studying, 4th Chapter of the Yoga Sūtras, Vibhūti Pāda: Chapters 1 & 2 lay the basis for the entire yogic process. Chapter 1 lays the primary foundational stone of clarity & clam. Chapter 2 gives the secondary step of self-analysis and asks us to dive deeply into the study & practice of the first four limbs: Yama, Niyama, Āsana & Prāṇāyāma. Once well established in these limbs, Chapter 3 presents an organized approach to our practice of self-analysis & pursuit of self-realization. Chapter 4, Kaivalya Pāda is filled with poignant insights into the nature of both yoga & bhoga. It reveals the origin of our ignorance and the wonders of overcoming our ignorance. These insights support us in removing the last traces of impurities covering our spiritual heart so we can actualize reach the state of no more outflows.
These classes always express the Sūtras in a practical manner relevant to the modern Yogī / Yoginī. And in this process, you will learn to recite each sūtra, the meaning of each word, and also how the sūtras are inter-related to one another. Study of the Yoga Sūtras is a complex and intricate process that never ceases to fascinate & inspire our relationship with life & yoga.
