We make Yoga philosophy easy to understand! This ancient wisdom can sometimes get lost in esoteric and religious interpretations, but we aim to make these teachings more practical and relevant to modern day, so that you can actually use them to create change in your life.

In this video, Katie breaks down the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras word for word while making them useful for everyday life! We will also teach you how to chant these Sutras in the correct way.

Most people think Yoga is just about the body -- but that is only part of it! The physical movement of Yoga is one tool amidst a sea of so many other powerful tools! Yoga is a path to ending suffering by transforming the mind and Patanjali gives us a plethora of tools besides just the physical practice of yoga to help us. Follow along with us in these videos and learn the practical applications of the Yoga Sutras!

Yoga Sutra 1.1 is the very first Sutra.

Atha Yoga Anusasanam

ATHA: Stop! Pay attention! Something very important is about to happen. Patanjali says that beginning to study these teachings is a commitment so we need to commit to this journey. He is asking us, "Are you in or out?"

YOGA: Introduces the subject matter we are going to learn about, and the student-teacher relationship that is crucial to this journey.

ANUSASANAM: These are lineage-based teachings. Yoga is taught and passed down to others from teacher to student. You literally "follow" the "experience" of a teacher who has had the experience themselves. You can't DO yoga, you LIVE it....experientially.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the authoritative text on Yoga. It was scribed 2,300 years ago by the sage Patanjali and consists of 195 sutras. All of these Sutras provide practical tools to help the individual transform every aspect of his or her life with the aim of creating a clear, calm, focused, and stable mind that perceives the world clearly and makes good choices.
