There is an inseparable relationship between Sāṁkhya and Yoga.

Sāṁkhya presents a philosophical understanding of the true nature of all existence, enumerates and explains the constituent parts of the created, ever-changing manifest world, and differentiates them from the eternal, unchanging Self.

Yoga, rooted in the philosophical principles of Sāṁkhya, offers the practical means by which the true nature of the manifest world, and of the True Nature of Self, can be realized. That realization is the means to achieve freedom from suffering and to attain final liberation, which are the goals of both Sāṁkhya and Yoga.

The Saṁkhyā Kārikā  is an important text, presenting the foundation principles upon which our practice of Yoga and Āyurveda are built.

Each class includes:
– an āsana and prāṇāyāma practice to prepare the body and mind
– philosophical teachings of Yoga that derived from the tradition of Sāṁkhya
– a meditation that emerges from those teachings
