Join the San Francisco Integral Yoga Institute for this online 5 week advanced study of Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali from July 1 – August 5, 2025. We will explore key sutras from each chapter, examine how they are grouped together, and learn how to both integrate these principles in practical ways and how to share them effectively.
Many who have completed Raja Yoga Teacher Training or have studied Raja Yoga extensively have expressed interest in a deeper dive into the study and practice of the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali. These timeless teachings have transformed the lives of inestimable spiritual seekers. Each time we approach them with open hearts and quiet minds, new levels of meaning are exposed and we awaken more fully to the Spiritual Presence we all share.
The program will take place on:
Tuesdays: 5 – 7:30 pm PT ONLINE
Sundays: 8:30 am – 12 pm PT HYBRID (Online with In-person option)
This in depth study will include:
• researching and comparing multiple translations and commentaries of selected sutras from all four chapters
• learning to pronounce the Sanskrit of the sutras and experience the corresponding vibrations
• learning how these sutras relate to meditation practice, other sadhana and our daily life
• group discussion to support and inspire each other
• working with a case study of a group or individual to present the sutras that can bring balance and healing
• the option to practice teaching the integration of Raja Yoga into Yoga classes
• the opportunity to co-lead a 3 week scripture study series offered to the public with the support of our experienced mentoring staff.
