Four Sutras about Yoga.

By Leonid Belenitsky

You know the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. 2000 old text. How to teach this hard subject? I just found my way of teaching. That's all about it. Nothing more.

Four sutras about yoga. The first sutra
Simply about the philosophical essence of yoga
Concentration, skill to concentrate, distraction of attention - an obstacle in the practice of concentration.
The terms: Yoga, Sutra, Samadhi, Siddhi, Samyama, Asana, Pranayama, Raja Yoga, Vritti, Shloka, Hatha Yoga.
1.1. The whole essence of Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" is in the regular practice of attaining states.
1.2. The complexity of the practice of Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" is the age of the text itself, which is over 2,000 years old. The "yoga sutra" of Patanjali is separated from the modern reader not only by time, but also by the difference in the mentality of the East and the West.
1.3. For a simple explanation of the "Philosophical Essence of Yoga," I apply the two principles of Pedagogy: "From simple - to complex" and "From general to particular". These two principles always work.
1.4. Complexities - repel many. Especially, the complexity of the Sanskrit terminology. Take Sanskrit terms as the names of new acquaintances. This makes understanding easier. The name of the person we learn at the first meeting. So, it is the same with terminology.
1.5. Let's begin.
1.6. We all know Life. First of all, from parents. Then in school. Then in career. Then in the family. So, it is in yoga. And the process of learning Yoga is very similar to the process of learning Life. Yoga is the way to achieve practical skills for getting into high spiritual states. In a case, examples of such high states are the states of Happiness and Love. We will talk about classical definitions of yoga later.
1.7. States. High spiritual states are part of our life. Spiritual states are part of our lives. Ordinary states are part of our life. Each state has its own status. At the "first sutra" level, I just gave you three examples of this status.
