Yoga Philosophy For The Modern Mind

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel an undercurrent of restlessness, even when everything seems fine on the surface. The ancient wisdom of yoga was created to address exactly this — not just to stretch the body, but to understand the mind, find balance, and live with clarity.

This course is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and discover how yoga philosophy can help us live more meaningful, peaceful, and conscious lives. Over six interactive sessions, we’ll explore timeless teachings from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, and discuss how these ideas can guide us in our everyday challenges.

Each session offers an open and welcoming space to listen, share, and learn together. No prior experience or knowledge is required — only your curiosity and willingness to explore. Through gentle discussions and practical insights, you’ll uncover ways to integrate yoga’s wisdom into your daily routine, relationships, and work life.
