ABOUT THE COURSE

This Philosophy course is a transformative online training program that guides students through the philosophical and contemplative foundations of Yoga, exploring classical texts, sacred traditions, and spiritual practices that form the architecture of self-realization, combining intellectual rigor with experiential perspective.

Through lectures, guided contemplation, and reflective exercises, participants will explore: Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the eight limbs of yoga; sacred texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika; the history and evolution of yoga, from ancient yogis to modern practices; the six classical schools of Vedic philosophy, Samkhya, and Advaita Vedanta; Buddhist principles, mindfulness, and non-dual teachings; and practical applications for insight and teaching. The course is designed to guide you from knowledge to inquiry, and from reflection to integration, providing you with the tools to study, live, and teach yoga and Eastern philosophies with clarity and integrity.

Format: 100% online, with two live Q&A sessions via Zoom and one year of access to the course.
