For decades, I’ve turned to the Upanishads as a practical and mystical map to help navigate the often unpredictable terrain of daily asana practice. In this unique video course, I read and interpret passages from several key Upanishads—including the Isa, Prasna, Brihadaranyaka, Chandogya, and others—and offer reflections on how these ancient teachings speak directly to our lives and practices today. The course centers around rich and poetic dialogues between teachers and students—stories and conversations filled with insight, mystery, and beauty. Each session is designed to connect you to the deeper spiritual and philosophical roots of yoga, while also offering grounded inspiration for your path as a modern practitioner. You’ll come away with a renewed sense of wonder, sharper awareness, and a more soulful connection to your practice—both on and off the mat. What are the Upanishads? The Upanishads are among the most sacred yoga texts, forming the philosophical heart of the Vedas—the oldest yogic scriptures. The word “Upanishad” means “sitting down near” the teacher to receive secret, mystical teachings about the Self and the nature of reality. No prior experience is needed. This course is open to anyone interested in the deeper dimensions of yoga. Book recommendation: The Upanishads: Breath from the Eternal by Swami Prabhavananda & Frederick Manchester
