YOGA SUTRAS
The Yoga Sutras is one of the most influential texts in Yoga. However, understanding its wisdom requires a knowledgeable guide to crack the code. Eoin wants to take advantage of his 25 years of study of this text and share these pearls of wisdom in easy-to-understand language and concepts.
You will see this course has implications not just for Yoga, Meditation, and Spiritual Living. It has powerful insights into the nature of mind, psychology end even modern neuroscience. Many courses and commentaries on the Yoga Sutras bend and dilute its message to make it more palatable for modern sensibilities. However, by the end of the course, you will be crystal clear on what the text is actually saying. As well, Eoin will share his exciting and fresh insights into how you can incorporate the powerful, ancient knowledge of the Yoga Sutras into your life.
Of course, to really understand this path, we have to not just study the text with our rational mind but to sit down and practice silencing our minds in meditation.Â
In addition to the lectures provided in this course, you will also receive 4 unique meditations for you to practice throughout each lecture.
To wet your appetite, here is a video Eoin made about Satya and our Highest Consciousness. Have a listen to this 7 minute video and be inspired.
