January 9-11, 2026

Course Summary

 During this weekend module, Carolyn Atchley will lead students through the history and philosophy of the Classical yoga tradition. We’ll spend time examining yoga’s roots from ancient to modern. We’ll also spend time discussing philosophy from some of Classical yoga’s most famous texts, including the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and how these philosophies relate to our lives as both yoga practitioners and yoga teachers. You’ll leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of yoga history and philosophy, and be better equipped on how to bring this knowledge to your students.
