Wisdom Workshop: The Three Pillars of Yoga

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali serve as a guiding text for the practices and principles of yoga, offering timeless insights into mental discipline, ethical living, and spiritual awareness that remain deeply relevant for modern practitioners. 

In this live 90-minute session for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners, we’ll explore the three foundational practices described in Chapter II, Sutra 1 of the Yoga Sutras: Austerity, Study, and Devotion to Isvara.

Join us as we delve into the meaning of each practice through a close reading of the original Sanskrit and insightful commentary from sages who preserved and expanded on these teachings across a millennium. Together, we’ll unpack the essence of each practice, its relevance, and the transformative impact it can bring to your life, on and off the mat.

What You’ll Gain:

• Foundational Wisdom: Develop a clear understanding of these practices and how they contribute to a life of simplicity, awareness, and joy.
• Practical Tools: Discover how to apply these teachings in the modern world for a balanced and meaningful yoga experience.
• Enhanced Teaching Skills: For yoga teachers, learn how to bring depth to your classes by speaking authoritatively about these practices and inspiring your students to connect with the roots of a complete yoga practice.

Join us to uncover the pillars of yoga and make lasting connections between these ancient teachings and your everyday life.

As a special bonus, you’ll also receive The Three Pillars of Yoga – A 21-Week Guided Reflection Journal, which I’ve designed to be an essential companion for deepening your practice and integrating yoga philosophy into daily life. This workbook offers structured yet flexible prompts to help you explore and embody the three core principles of yoga: austerity (tapaḥ), self-study (svādhyāya), and devotion (Īśvara-pranidhāna).

Each section of the journal leads you through thoughtful reflection on how these pillars manifest in your life, fostering personal growth, self-awareness, and a stronger connection to the divine. With a clear, manageable format, this journal offers a transformative journey, guiding you through key teachings from the Yoga Sutras while encouraging discipline, introspection, and devotion. Whether you’re looking to refine your practice, gain clarity, or connect more deeply with your spiritual path, this journal provides the tools and guidance you need to bring meaningful change to your yoga journey.
