Yoga Sutra Study Series
with Justyn and Jaina
Join Justyn and Jaina for a deep dive series of the sacred text of the Yoga Sutras. Together we will explore the magic and wisdom Pantajali offers as a guide to successful yoga practice. We will open our hearts and minds to stretch our understanding of these offerings beyond their surface layer appearance. We will discuss the layout of the text and avenues in which we can more deeply understand these ancient teachings.
There are many translations and commentaries on the Yoga Sutras. We recommend utilizing any translation of the text that resonates with you. For deeper study, I recommend the Yoga Sutras Study Guides by Baba Hari Dass.
This study series is open to all levels of practitioners! You do not need prior knowledge of the Sutras to begin. All are welcome!
