Sutras Studies is currently on hiatus, but will be returning!  Join our newsletters to stay up-to-date. 

Yoga Sutra of Patanjali forms the foundation of all yoga teachings and has been described as the “Heart of Yoga” and a “guidebook to life”.

Presented in a simple yet compact style, the sutras offer the entire foundation of Yoga’s philosophy, psychology, concepts and tools for practice and personal transformation.

We believe that a thorough study of this text is essential for every Yoga teacher and keen Yoga student.

This course is designed for yoga teachers and experienced yoga students, providing a deeper exploration of:

• The conceptual framework and major themes of these ancient teachings
• Relevance of these teachings for the practice of Yoga today, for health and well-being in our modern lives
• Classical chanting of the Yoga Sutras

Michael de Manincor studied the Yoga Sutras over many years under the guidance of Krishnamacharya’s son TKV Desikachar.

In these 6-week courses, Michael shares his in-depth and practical understanding of the meaning of key themes and teachings in the sutras, how they relate to yoga practice, the mind, and life in general.

His level of knowledge and understanding of the sutras, along with his warm and engaging teaching style, give students a wonderful and unique learning experience.

Each 6-week course follows a different theme or part of the Sutras, so each course is different and many students return again and again to continue their learnings from Michael.  

This course has no required textbook, however we recommend The Heart of Yoga, by T.K.V Desikachar as a wonderful companion to Sutras Studies.
