YS 218 | The Yogavāsiṣṭha

January 5 - February 13, 2026

The Yogavāsiṣṭha (11-14th century CE) is one of the most influential philosophical-literary works in the history of Yoga in South Asia. Told as an extended dialogue between the young prince Rāma and the sage Vasiṣṭha, its teachings revolve around the nature of consciousness, the unreality of the world, and the means to liberation through self-knowledge and breath-awareness. Join Dr. Tamara Cohen for an exploration of this fascinating text.
