6. Study of Yoga Sutras
STARTING SEPTEMBER 2025
Online zoom course with Satyadev, the timing for the course will be set together with the group closer to the start of the training. It’s a 12 week course, where you meet every 2 weeks over zoom for 90 min per session.
HERE’S WHAT’S ON THE SCHEDULE:
- SAMADHI PADA
Embarking on the path to becoming a yogi necessitates a heightened awareness of the influence exerted by both personal and external perceptions on our cognitive processes, judgment, decision-making, and subsequent actions.To cultivate a state of non-attachment is to liberate oneself from undue external influences and foster mental equilibrium. This objective is facilitated through the delicate calibration of the Gunas—fundamental qualities of energy, encompassing Tamas (symbolizing darkness and chaos), Rajas (representing activity and passion), and Sattva (indicating beingness and harmony).Striving for equilibrium among these energetic qualities serves as a mechanism for fortifying the mind against external influences. The ultimate aspiration is to transcend the influence of the Gunas entirely, aspiring towards the attainment of Samprajnata Samadhi—a state of discerning contemplation marked by profound mental clarity and liberation. - SADHANA PADA
In the second chapter, on enlightenment, Patanjali serves as a guide, instructing on the meticulous construction of the foundations for Samadhi. This involves a gradual process akin to building a mental fortress, emphasizing the importance of orderliness before entering a state of receptive meditation. The journey involves overcoming obstacles, cultivating a detached perspective on life, and dissolving the ego through dedicated meditation.
The Eight Limbs of Yoga serve as a comprehensive practice, aligning the mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the transcendental state of Samadhi. Among the prescribed practices is Pratipaksha Bhavan, a method aimed at counteracting negative thoughts with positive affirmations, fostering not only joy but also self-realization.Integral to this progression is the practice of asanas, serving as a physical prelude to meditation. By engaging in these postures, the practitioner readies the body to withdraw the senses from external stimuli, facilitating a focused journey inward. In this disciplined approach, one endeavors to navigate the path to profound self-discovery and superconscious awareness. - VIBHUTI PADA
This book unveils the incredible possibilities of yoga – enter the realm of Siddhis, those supernatural superpowers you can unlock through the last three limbs of Raja Yoga: Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), and Complete Integration (Samadhi). Blend them together in the magic mix called Samyama, and voila! You’re on the path to enlightening your mind by keeping the info overload in check.
And, the grand finale – Samadhi. It’s that sweet spot where nothing is missing. Observe yourself to really know yourself, unveiling the true light after tossing aside the external influences. Sure, life throws distractions, but we swing by the practice to turn inward, managing that sweet connection with the true self. - KAIVALYA PADA
The last chapter ties it all up, showing how a yogi’s vibe reaches absolute levels – we’re talking Kaivalyam, the absolute and limitless state. The Eight Limbs of Yoga, especially the final three, work their magic, creating a chill, karmic-free zone for the yogi. Death? No biggie. Eternal life desire kicks in.
But wait, there’s more! This book spills the tea on the karmic fate of those who snooze on life’s journey vibes. Forget reflecting, and boom – they might unknowingly rerun life scenarios or score less-than-stellar outcomes in the sequel.

Testimonials
In 2019, I graduated as a yoga teacher and immediately began teaching. However, the challenges of COVID and pregnancy led me to lose confidence and struggle to find my authentic voice while battling imposter syndrome. The 300-hour training has completely transformed my teaching and self-esteem. It reignited my passion for yoga, allowing me to dive deep into its philosophy and practice—well beyond the surface level of basic training. Now, I feel confident in my own teaching style, free from comparison. I finally feel that I can teach from a place of knowledge and intuition, genuinely supporting my students in their growth. I’ve gained clarity in my teaching and in my other career, developing valuable leadership skills that enrich my life every day.
