Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: Roadmap to Infinity

  • Ananda Palo Alto 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

Saturday, 10am -2pm, Join us in person or online via zoom

Join Brahmachari Sagar and Saiganesh for a morning retreat to dive into the wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and Yogananda's interpretation of them. Through lecture, discussion, guided activities, and meditation, we will dive deep into the science of Yoga and use the Yoga Sutras to create our own Roadmap to Infinity.

In this retreat we will use the Yoga Sutras to:

  • Integrate the essence of Yoga into our daily life in ways that are profound and powerful, yet down-to-earth and practical.

  • Take our practice of meditation to a deeper-than-ever level.

  • Overcome the nine obstructions that plague the mind and hold us back.

  • Develop the attitudes—some will be familiar, some might not—that are essential for success in the spiritual life.

Brahmachari Sagar

Brahmachari Sagar resides in the Ananda Monastery located at Ananda Village in Northern California. Born into a family of kriya-yogis, Sagar read Paramhansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi at a young age, an influence that culminated in his decision to serve Yogananda’s mission through Ananda.

Sagar led Ananda’s work in Mumbai for about five years and has served Ananda’s work in India and the US as a teacher and counselor to students and as a meditation and stress-relief workshop facilitator for corporates.

Sagar currently serves in Ananda’s Online Ministry. He is one of the principal instructors for the Ananda Course in Meditation and has helped create several online offerings. Prior to commencing his life of service at Ananda, Sagar was a graduate student with full scholarship at Boston University and holds advanced degrees in Engineering.
