Some 2300 years ago, the Indian philosopher Patanjali was the first to codify the knowledge of a tradition that until then had only been transmitted orally. Behind the 4 chapters that the text presents, lies an incredible knowledge that comes from distant times. Truly, the Yogic model that Patanjali exposes to us is far removed from contemporary Yoga with its multitude of styles, names and methods. Patanjali explains to us the nature of our mind.
The mind (Citta), always overwhelmed by its activities (Vritti), finds it difficult to remain centred and focused.
If we pause to observe our thoughts, it is easy to realise that most of the time they are senseless, rambling, without a logical thread and often negative in nature. We identify with our thoughts, when our true nature transcends our thoughts. We are always searching for our essence but for some reason it constantly eludes us.
The practice helps a mind that is restless and always looking for new stimuli to feel content and fulfilled, thus reducing its activities.
The Yoga Sutras present tools to purify the mind, body and spirit.

Are you curious* to know more? Do you believe that the practice of Yoga goes beyond simple mechanical movements coordinated with the breath or beyond long held postures?
Would you like to begin a journey into the world of the roots of Yoga?
If the answer is yes, then this practical and theoretical meeting on Sunday 23 February could be useful for you.
