The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Beginners’ Course
Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras; the very first written text on yoga. This timeless masterpiece is the foundation of all yogic knowledge, offering not just physical practices but a complete philosophy for mastering the mind, achieving inner peace, and realizing your highest potential.
The Yoga Sutras contain 195 concise teachings, or sutras, that guide us step by step toward transformation, helping us move beyond stress, distraction, and limitation into clarity, balance, and freedom.
In this special course, Indian yoga master Sri Swami Purohit will guide you through these profound teachings in a practical, accessible way. Step by step, you will learn not only to understand Patanjali’s wisdom, but also to live it in your daily life.

- Develop greater inner peace, emotional growth, and self-awareness
- Experience moments of thought-free silence at will
- Strengthen your focus, concentration, and discipline

Course Approach:
The Yoga Sutras are not just to be studied: they are meant to be lived. Alongside philosophy, you will practice pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, and physical exercises that align mind and body.
To fully benefit, students are encouraged to dedicate 1–2 hours of daily home practice, an essential part of integrating these teachings into real life.
Course Structure:
- Course duration: 24 months. One session per month.
- The in-person version of the course will be held one weekend per month in Granada: Saturday 9am to 2.30pm. Sunday 9am to 2pm.
- The online version will be published 1 week later, as pre-recorded videos of the live sessions.
- Pace: Each month, you will study and apply 1–2 sutras in depth.
- Practice: Physical exercises, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and pratyahara (withdrawal from distractions).
- A daily practice at home of between 1 – 2 hours is an essential part of the course.
- Support via email from Swami and his team for any queries or doubts you may have.
You will gradually explore all four chapters of the Yoga Sutras:
- Samadhi Pada: Developing concentration and mastery of the mind.
- Sadhana Pada: Spiritual practice and self-discipline to attain the state of yoga: the union of mind, body and spirit.
- Vibhuti Pada: Advanced yogic skills and inner powers.
- Kaivalya Pada: Liberation, freedom, and self-realization.
Your Journey:
By following the teachings with sincerity, and committing to daily practice, you will progressively master your senses and your mind. The ultimate reward is the experience of Samadhi; a state of pure joy, inner stillness, and complete unity of body, mind, and spirit.
This is more than a course; it is a journey of transformation, guided by a living master.
