COME FOR THE TEACHING,
STAY FOR THE COMMUNITY
EMBODY A YOGIC LIFESTYLE
"Many traditions have failed to assist humanity when confronted with the dilemma of its own evolution."
_
Even with confidence in asana practice, one can not live a completely fulfilled life without clarity on the yogic lifestyle and path.
___
It's heartbreaking -- you may spend your entire life seeking a goal you may never achieve. Or you do achieve it, but find out it was not actually what you were looking for. You've been playing a game without knowing the rules, and you know there's something more.
Only with a complete practice, done properly, over a long period of time, can one come to a thorough understanding of ultimate reality, “ride the tiger”, and Beat Death to Death!
In this course, you will learn from teachers who have taken this text into 3 year retreat to study & embody this teaching, and join a community of people who live this lifestyle together.

Learn from Master Teacher Michael Roach
Last time Geshe Michael taught this text, he said, "we don’t plan to teach it again. So I think if you like the subject, then I think it’s important to try learn the whole thing now while you can."
Don't miss this opportunity to join this course!
Michael Roach is the first American to complete the “Geshe” degree after 25 years of study in India. At the same time, he helped found Andin International Diamond Corporation in New York City, where he used yogic principles to help it grow from a small investment to $250 million USD in annual sales. Andin was ultimately purchased in 2009 by super-investor Warren Buffet. Geshe Michael’s profits from the sale were used almost entirely to create and support several charitable organizations, one of which was an input project that has now digitized over 2 million pages of Asia's classic philosophical texts.
Get the essence of the essence of the most essential text in yoga philosophy.
To translate the Hatha yoga Pradipika authentically requires one to practice these teachings for many years. And this is best done in deep retreat.
It is from the experience gained from doing these practices in deep solitude that allowed Geshe Michael to translate this text authentically, experientially, like few masters before.
This is how YSI does yoga different.
Why learn with the Yoga Studies Institute?
We do yoga different. If you've taken our other courses and classes, then you already know that! When practice is based in original yogic wisdom, it just feels different.
We source our material from over 2 million pages of classic Asian texts which have been preserved and digitized by our partners at the Asian Legacy Library. Together, our teams have taken painstaking measures to translate, understand, and apply the original yogic texts so that we could share them with you in the most clear and easy-to-apply ways.
Having a lineage of authentic wisdom is important.
we believe this information needs to be integrated through years of practice and meditative contemplation. Many of our instructors have completed over 1000 days of silent meditation retreat practicing yoga and synthesizing this knowledge into experiential wisdom.
