🔬 What if you approached your mind like an experiment? 🔬

Join RSYI School of Wisdom & History this month to explore ✨ The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali ✨ one of the most well-known ancient texts of yoga.

⏳️ The Sutras are over 2,000 years old and systematized yoga as a path and a practice. This is where the foundation of the 8 limbs of yoga and so many other timeless yogic teachings come from.

🧘 Before the time of downward dogs, yoga was a practice of stilling the mind. These teachings guide us into experiencing the now; moving from confusion and identification toward clarity, freedom, and deeper awareness.

Join Ellery in exploring this rich wisdom alongside Samkhya philosophy. Through meditation, reflection, and discussion, you’ll step into the role of observer, becoming a student of your own mind.

Through the lens of commitment (abhyāsa) and non-attachment (vairāgya), we'll explore how these pillars of yoga manifest. We'll inquire into how this practice extends beyond the internal, shaping how we relate, respond, and show up in the world.

No prior experience with the Yoga Sutras is needed. This workshop is open to all.

✨ April 12 1:30 - 3:30 pm
🎟 Reserve your spot via FitDegree (link in bio)

This workshop is included for Year of Study participants. Limited spots available.

✨️📕 April's RSYI area of study is Wisdom & History 📕✨️

Together we'll dive into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - a collection of 196 short teachings, or “threads,” originally passed down orally and later written between 200–400 CE.

Rather than focusing on physical postures, they explore the nature of the mind, meditation, and the path toward freedom from suffering.

They aren’t something to “figure out” but something to return to.
Each time we study them, new meaning unfolds.

Join us in exploring the Sutras in our April Reading Circle!

This month we’re reading The Path of the Sutras by Nicolai Bachman - a compelling & modern interpretation to support our study together.

You’re welcome whether you’ve read the book or not!

🗓 Saturday, April 4

🕐 3-4 pm

💫 Free to attend

Bring your book if you have it. Come to listen, share and study in community.

We're looking forward to diving into yoga philosophy together!

Join Justine in April for a four-week Chair Yoga series:
🕓️ Thursdays at 12 pm.
