Patanjali's Yoga Sutra Series*

This series of four classes with Linda Spackman offers an opportunity to study the rich and illumminativeYoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Sutras offer clear and concise guidance in the art of living. By working with particular themes from the text, Linda brings the teachings into vivid relevance for our day to day lives.

In this course the “Isvara Sutras” are covered. These sutras offer a powerful method for progressing towards the state of yoga or inner peace.
