Bhagavad Gita - Chapters 1-10

Part 1: Chapters 1-10
The Bhagavad Gita, a timeless foundational scripture for yoga philosophy, provides lessons beyond the physical postures and into the path of self -realization. This course is designed for the dedicated practitioner and teachers aspiring to deepen their understanding of yoga. In depth study of this ancient text will broaden your knowledge into more advanced and complex yoga definitions. Going beyond academic and philosophical study, we will explore how profound the teachings of the Gita can be applied to your personal growth and will empower you to lead classes with greater depth, purpose and authenticity.

But which Bhagavad Gita should you read?
There are many commentaries and translations of the Bhagavad Gita. The poetry’s framework and structure in all Bhagavad Gita translations is always the same, yet styles varies by the specific commentators explanations, perspectives and personalities.
Feel free to choose “your” Gita to study and behold. You may choose your Book based on your connection to a particular commentator, the look of the cover or the amount of pages it contains to study. All of these reasons are lovely.

A few we have found beautiful for different reasons are:
• Paramahansa Yogananda’s singular edition or two leather bound editions are excellent for those who enjoy in depth studies with Sanskrit and technical details.
• Swami Satchidananda, The Living Gita, is perfect for those preferring side stories to reframe the original lesson in a gentle way.
• Gandhi’s Gita is a truly thoughtful piece that feels alive with a humble teacher guiding the story.
Also, audiobooks are a great way to listen and learn!
