595 595 people viewed this event.
Abhyasa and vairagya (YS 1.12-16), “practice” and “detachment” or “dispassion”, are key terms for understanding Patanjali’s approach to the path of yoga. In this talk, Dr. Måns Broo will present insights from the classical commentators of the Yoga-sutra, noting both changes and continuities across time, leading up to a discussion on how we would understand these concepts today.
Måns Broo (PhD, Doc.) is a lecturer in the study of Religions at Åbo Akademi University, Finland. He has published translations of classical yoga texts in Finnish and Swedish, and teaches yoga philosophy primarily in the Nordic countries.
