The Yoga Sutras is one of the foundational texts of yoga philosophy. Compiled by the sage Patanjali in India nearly 2,000 years ago, it is made of 4 padas or chapters, and a total of 195 sutras. It includes wisdom around ashtanga (the 8-limbed path of yoga), purusha & prakriti, the gunas, causes of human suffering, and how we may harness the power of the body, mind, and soul to find peace.

This Yoga Sutras Guidebook was the collaborative effort of Maryam and other Beloved Yoga teachers. It contains interpretations, questions for reflection, and poetry to inspire. Use it to deep dive into the yoga journey!

We all breathe. Have you ever wondered if your breath patterns are serving you well?

This pamphlet was created by Maryam Ovissi & Susan Knoblauch to encourage breath awareness, as well as the cultivation of a daily breath practice. It includes a simple practice with options for posturing, as well as a questionnaire to promote awareness around breath patterns and to help identify any dysfunctional patterns that would benefit from further inquiry.
