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 Bhagavad Gītā, the Patañjala Yoga Sūtras, and the Sankhya Kārikā — 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 formed within the living Sanskrit tradition of Mysore — 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.
Patañjala 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 Gītā. The text as this tradition has always read it.
Bhagavad Gītā
Dr. M. A. Alwar · Scholar, Nāthamuni Sampradāya · Mysore
All eighteen chapters transmitted within the same Śrīvaiṣṇava tradition from which Śrī Kṛṣṇamācārya descended. The Gītā 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 nearly a millennium.
Sankhya Kārikā
Dr. H. V. Nagaraj Rao · Traditional Sanskrit Scholar, Mysore
The metaphysical root of yoga philosophy — the vocabulary the Sūtras and the Gītā 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.
All courses are offered in collaboration with the Saṃskṛti Foundation, Mysore. Certificates issued by Saṃskṛti Foundation. Recognized by Yoga Alliance as Continuing Education.
