Nectar of Patanjali
Yoga Sutras with Kaya

updated Dates: July 2023

Wisdom in Purpose, Potential & Practice

Key teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sūtras, stewarded by Kaya’s authentic, mothering, enlivened approach.

Many modern yoga sūtra programs live on the binary of academic & centered on Sanskrit dictionary based translation on the one hand or feeling-based share circles centered on personal interpretation on the other. 

Kaya’s approach is a profound revelation of tradition, esoteric deep meaning & the lived experience as a mother, householder, yoga practitioner and lineage holder. 

 Nectar of Patanjali offers a lineage-based approach that holds sacred the responsibility to reveal the true intentions and meanings of this scripture that can lead to spiritual growth. 

Kaya extracts esoteric and transformational nectar of key sutras that reveal the purpose of yoga, the nature of the mind, the divine human potential, and what it is to live a life dedicated to awakening. Kaya’s teaching style illuminates the yoga sūtras in a multifasted way, threading in the vision of the upaṇiṣads, the Bhagavad Gitā and the feminine divine. 

So welcome to the Nectar of Patañjali ~ where the sūtras are offered in a ways that will touch your heart & meaningfully impact practice and your life. 

There were so many terms in the class and Kaya breaks the very philosophical into comprehensible chunks for the students. Her gentle manner and humor make the content user friendly. I loved the repetitive chanting of the Sanskrit, the commentaries provided and all the visuals presented(the ice cream, the river, etc.) Her metaphors are fantastic and her continuous link to other texts(Upanishads and Gita) help to tie the bonds between these texts which can seem overwhelming to westerners. She is one of my primary mentors..I love her and she is a gift to the yoga world..I am so grateful to have found her!

"What stands out to me is how I can integrate the teachings into life. I really enjoyed all the practical examples, interwoven with the real experiences of life, pressures, problems. & your sense of humor! In the past, the Yoga Sutras was mixed for me. This learning experience is so much more supportive, realistic, compassionate, very deep and so much more helpful! It feels like a bit of a relief really, that what I intuitively felt is now present. That there is a gentler way into this & that this compassion should be sought & embraced. Thank you for bringing compassion into this teaching it's quite special! Feeling deep gratitude."
KristaYoga Teacher
"Kaya's teachings on the Yoga Sutras give me permission to continue on my path - a much more easeful way, filled with moments of direct connection to divinity throughout my day. My practice isn't striving...it's more of a gentle release. As always when I study with Kaya, I am reminded of how understanding yoga is, and how I can bring that into my own life to create more calm. Studying with Kaya reminds me, I don't need to have guilt and shame or spend a bunch of time being angry...we all arrive here with baggage."

"I love how it all fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. With the understanding of each part I can see more and more of the picture. Each piece is a revelation. This has been really very enlightening I've enjoyed and been moved by the beautiful truth in Kaya’s words in every class."
HannahYoga Teahcer
"Such a beautiful training! I am at turns, joy-filled and overwhelmed. It’s almost as if there’s too much beauty. I feel as if my understanding of cosmic order has been turned a little on its axis."

NOTE FROM KAYA

Patañjali Yoga Sūtras is an advanced text for mature practitioners. It’s important that we enter into this not from an academic stance, nor a superficial one. This offering of Patanjali yoga sūtras is a sacred pilgrimage into a classical yoga text that accounts for the mystical, the feminine divine and the vision of vedānta, under the influence of my own mystical and intelligent gurus. 

Love, 
Kaya
