Patanjali Yoga Sutra

Patanjali Yoga Sutra (MAU CPPD 03)
Duration: 3 months
Fees: £1500

The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali represents the earliest attempt to systematize the principles and practice of the ancient discipline of yoga. This seminal text composed around the 2^nd century BCE explains the eight-fold path of yoga (astanga yoga) in 196 aphorisms or sutra- a concise, economical literary style used to convey subtle truths. An understanding of this text is essential for every serious yoga practitioner and for those who are searching for a deeper understanding of the inner self and our connection to a more universal and transcendent entity.

The course commences in October 2020.

One lecture a week of 3 hours duration and supported distance learning.
