Jason's Patanjali "Super Lecture"

ANDREA FERRETTI
About this episode

Jason takes over this week to present a special comprehensive lecture on Patanjali, aka, his Patanjali “Super Lecture.” This episode essentially combines our three existing episodes on Patanjali plus additional content featuring essential philosophical concepts to teach beginners. We wanted to provide a place for all of these conversations to exist together so you have them at your fingertips. The topics we take on include:


  1. The Sutras: Unpacking Purusha and Prakriti 
  2. The Sutras: Defining Chitta, Vritti and the Gunas
  3. The Sutras: Three Approaches to the 8 Limbs of Yoga
  4. 8 Essential Philosophical Concepts to Teach Beginners


Jason spends so much time teaching and discussing asana, pranayama and meditation so these conversations were a welcome change of pace for us. We hope you enjoy it.
