The Patanjali Yoga Sutras — Understanding Every Sutra

Yoga is not just asanas. It is a journey of knowing yourself.

Controlling the body is yoga practice. Understanding the mind is yoga philosophy.

We are all searching for peace. But where is real peace to be found? Why does the mind never stop thinking? Why do desires, fears and worries keep following us? And above all — who am I, really?

The 196 Yoga Sutras given by Maharshi Patanjali thousands of years ago show a way to look deeply into these questions. Now you have the chance not just to read this ancient wisdom, but to understand it, experience it, and connect it with your own life.

The Living Yoga Sutras

A deep introduction to Yoga Darshana in 45 days.

• What is the meaning behind each sutra?
• How does that sutra apply to our daily life?
• What does yoga say about examining our thoughts, our mind and our behaviour?

In this course the Patanjali Yoga Sutras are studied in simple Telugu, in a clear sequence, with detailed explanation. It is not just a course — it is a journey of knowledge that widens the way you see yoga.
