Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali

Are you ready to explore yoga beyond the mat or want to deepen your knowledge of yoga philosophy with the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject? Many yoga workshops and teacher trainings pay little attention to a close reading of yoga’s core texts; but doing so is central to a deep and sensitive understanding of yoga’s philosophy. This course will undertake a close reading of yoga as presented in the traditional Hindu sourcebook on the subject, the 3rd century Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, where it is defined as “the stilling of all states of mind” (i.e. meditative practices).

Chakras Illuminated

Investigate the original function of the chakra systems of Tantric yoga with Christopher Wallis. What really are the chakras? Somatic focal points, energy centers, Cosmological Maps, or all three? In the worlds of yoga, esoteric spirituality, and New Age religion, interest in the concept of the chakras is massive and growing all the time. What is often lacking is a thorough investigation into the original nature and function of the chakras in their tradition of origin, Tantrik Yoga, by a scholar-practitioner fluent in the Sanskrit language. Embodied Philosophy is proud to present an online course that fills that need.

Non-Dual Embodiment Learning Pathway

Non-Dual Embodiment: Teachings and Practices of Non-Duality
Contemplative traditions are relatively unanimous in their position that ignorance and forms of illusion are the root of all human suffering. To break free from these illusions that veil the truth of our nature, we need a liberating perspective. Non-duality is conceived as a “View” that, when experienced, radically transmutes the field of our perception. As a result, a radical alignment is possible with our Self, each other, and the cosmos.
