Mastering the Siddhis | Discover the Yoga Sutras

Though many have heard of Maharishi Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, very few people understand how to unlock the true power of his teachings. The Yoga Sutras are principles of yoga passed down for generations, and learning them will maximize your potential to co-create with the laws of Nature.

Course Summary

  • 6 total installments
  • Each installment takes place over one weekend with a small group
  • Listen to Thom Knoles’ recorded teachings on Maharishi Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as they were meant to be taught.
  • Learn the sutras, understand their meanings and mechanics, and practice together.
  • Enjoy nourishing, Ayurvedic meals
  • You can sign up for one part of the series at a time, but they must be taken in order.

Sutras & Siddhis

  • The sutras have been brought back into light by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
    As we learn them, we will begin to experience what it means to be a “siddhi”: “An extraordinary human power, or a rare capability to interact with the laws of Nature to manifest desires.”
  • Once mastered, the siddhis are considered to be the most powerful and advanced technique in a meditator’s repertoire.
  • Meditators report experiences of expanded awareness and confidence in co-creating their reality and experience of life.
