Introduction to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
 The focus of these classes will  provide an insight into the core teachings of Eastern Mysticism and in doing so provide the participants with an integration of those principles into their own practice regardless of religious tradition.
​
​This study is for anyone who is walking the mystical path toward wholeness and awakening. It will provide deeper insight for those involved in interfaith studies and those practicing The Way of the 12 Steps in recovery.

Dr. LaChance will review the four chapters of the Yoga Sutras: 1) the restrictions of the movements of the mind 2) a means to travel straight toward a goal and the proper means to achieve the goal 3) understanding the supernatural powers bestowed by yoga practice 4) achieving oneness. Through teaching, discussion and meditation, Albert will lead participants into an experiential appreciation of Patanjali’s eternal insights.
