The Yoga
Trilogy
Three foundational texts of yoga philosophy, taught from within the living Sanskrit tradition of Mysore.
The philosophy behind the practice —
studied at its source
Yoga is a complete philosophical system, not a collection of postures. The three texts at its core — the Sankhya Kārikā, the Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, and the Bhagavad Gita — form a conversation that has continued, uninterrupted, for more than two thousand years. Together they address the questions your practice raises but rarely gets to ask: What is the self? What is the mind? What is liberation, and is it possible?
Each course is taught by a scholar whose formation in Mysore's Sanskrit scholarly lineage is not historical background — it is the lens through which these texts are read. Not as an academic exercise, but as the same transmission these texts have always carried. Studied together, they become something rare: a complete philosophical education in the tradition that gave modern yoga to the world. All three courses include video, audio, and written notes with permanent access.
This Trilogy is for you if you practice yoga but feel the philosophy is still out of reach — if the Sūtras feel abstract, if the Gita feels familiar but unread, if you sense there is a conceptual structure underlying the whole system that you haven't yet found. You don't need Sanskrit. You need curiosity and a practice. The scholars meet you there.
Sankhya Kārikā
Dr. H. V. Nagaraj Rao · Traditional Sanskrit Scholar, Mysore
The metaphysical root of yoga philosophy — the vocabulary the Sūtras and the Gita both draw from. Sankhya names what yoga practice works with: puruṣa, prakṛti, the tattvas, the mechanics of perception and bondage. Without it, yoga philosophy floats free of its foundations.
Patañjali Yoga Sūtras
Dr. H. V. Nagaraj Rao · Traditional Sanskrit Scholar, Mysore
The philosophical backbone of everything you practice. Every breath linked to movement, every instruction to still the mind — all of it traces back to this text. The entire Sūtras, verse by verse, woven together with Sankhya, the Upaniṣads, and the Gita. The text as this tradition has always read it.
Bhagavad Gita
Dr. M. A. Alwar · Scholar, Nāthamuni Sampradāya · Mysore
All eighteen chapters transmitted within the same Śrīvaiṣṇava tradition from which Śrī Kṛṣṇamācārya descended. The Gita is not philosophy at a distance — it is philosophy under pressure. Thirty-three lessons, verse by verse, as this paramparā has understood the text for more than a millennium.
All courses are offered in collaboration with the Saṃskṛti Foundation, Mysore. Certificates issued by Saṃskṛti Foundation. Recognized by Yoga Alliance as Continuing Education.
Three texts.
One tradition.
One price.
The case for studying these three together is precise: Sankhya gives you the vocabulary, the Sūtras give you the map, and the Gita puts you in the territory. Studied in sequence, each text illuminates the others. Studied separately, something is always missing. Once enrolled, all three courses are yours permanently — a library you will return to across years of practice, finding different things at different depths as your understanding grows.

Reach out to us directly. We will find a way.
What if I already own one of the courses?
Write to us before purchasing the bundle. We will apply what you've already paid toward the Trilogy price so you aren't charged twice.
Is there a recommended order?
We recommend Sankhya Kārikā first, then the Patañjali Yoga Sūtras, then the Bhagavad Gita. Each course is self-contained, but the Sankhya course establishes vocabulary that makes the other two considerably clearer.
Are the three courses linked, or separate?
Each course has its own access page with video, audio, and written notes. They are separate but available under the same account once enrolled.
What does "permanent access" mean?
There is no subscription and no expiry. You pay once and the courses remain available for as long as the platform runs — return to them a year from now or a decade from now.
These courses are an invitation to understand the world you have been practicing in. The texts are precise. The tradition is living. The scholars are generous. Come as you are — with whatever background, whatever questions, whatever gaps in your knowledge. That is exactly who these teachings are for.
