The Wisdom of Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras | Judith Sugg, Ph.D.

Practices like meditation and yoga are hailed today for their health value, yet their meaning and power are far more profound. These practices not only aid in wellness on the physical level; they also act as gateways to higher consciousness. In yoga, true freedom happens in the place of stillness. In the classical yoga philosophy, what is Real is present everywhere, but we cannot always see this because we are not conscious of our true nature. The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali is a collection of Sanskrit sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga. This lecture focuses on this 2000-year-old compilation and how it forms the basis for achieving higher consciousness.
Judith Sugg, Ph.D. is a teacher and counselor intrigued with the power and clarity of the ancient texts and the light they bring to our present moment. She has written on mindfulness and conflict resolution, the overlap of psychology and yoga, and has recently finished a study guide on the Yoga Sutras. As a licensed counselor, Judy worked with clients with addictions and wrote two books in her field. She has taught yoga and meditation for 30 years.
