For nearly two decades I’ve been returning to one book more than any other — The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali. Not because it’s poetic. Not because it’s ancient. But because it names something true about being human… in a way that somehow feels even more relevant now.

And that’s what this course is about.

Over 10 weeks, we’ll slow down and move sutra by sutra, taking these short, distilled teachings and bringing them into the world we actually live in — the world of busyness, doubt, creativity, relationships, overwhelm, and the ongoing challenge of finding center when everything feels loud.

This isn’t academic study.
It’s not memorization.
It’s applied philosophy — practical, relatable, grounded.

You’ll learn how Patañjali’s framework becomes a kind of inner map:
a way to understand your mind, navigate friction, reduce confusion, and build the kind of presence and resilience that actually supports your life off the mat.

Together we will explore:

• What gets in the way of clarity (and why)

• How the mind creates turbulence — and how to settle it

• Why effort matters, and why the right kind of effort matters more

• The traps that derail long-term practice

• The timeless tools yogis used to transform their inner world — and how they translate directly into modern life

Expect a blend of conversation, lineage-based commentary, modern examples, and real practice you can use immediately — in your relationships, your work, your creativity, and your life.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to the deeper side of yoga…
If you want a practice that strengthens not only your body but your ability to meet your life with steadiness and clarity…
If you’re ready to engage with yoga in a way that feels human, honest, and deeply relevant…

I’d love to explore this text with you.

Join me for this 8 week exploration into the Yogasutras of Patanjali - live online. We will meet every Thursday from 5:30-6:30PM PST each week from July 3rd, 2025 - August 21st, 2025.

Yoga extends beyond the mat. Learn how Patanjali’s teachings provide a framework for cultivating balance, presence, and resilience in everyday life. This 8 week course will go verse by verse through this core text of yoga, unpacking both the deeper meaning and application of the yoga tradition.

The Bhagavad Gita isn’t just a spiritual text—it’s a conversation about how to live with clarity, courage, and purpose in the face of life’s complexity.

In this 6-week live online course, we’ll journey through all 18 chapters of the Gītā, following the key verses that illuminate its most essential themes: action and surrender, self-inquiry and service, inner struggle and spiritual steadiness. This won’t be a verse-by-verse reading, but a focused exploration of the teachings that speak most directly to the realities of modern life.
