Ongoing Art of Living Classes in Seattle

For graduates of the Raja Yoga Intensive, this long-awaited follow-up course will provide more time for discussing and practicing meditation and exploring deeper aspects of Vedanta teachings such as karma, death, astral life and rebirth, energy healing, cycles of consciousness and the current age, ego versus soul, and the higher stages of meditation.

Ashtanga Yoga (8-Fold Path) is just one of the core wisdom-teachings that has its origins in the Yoga Sutras. In this 6-week course, we will explore Patanjali's deep insights into the practice of meditation, into the inner experience of consciousness seeking its Source, the signs of spiritual progress, and the state of soul-liberation as seen by one who has achieved that state. The yoga sutras are a clinical exploration into the human mind and into the consciousness that has manifested all matter and this vast universe. We will examine key sutras and seek to unlock their secrets. This course is based upon Paramhansa Yogananda's unpublished commentaries on the yoga sutras.
