SUTRA 1.7

Pratyakṣa-Anumāna-Agamāḥ Pramāṇāni

In Sutra 1.7 Patanjali sets out these three ways to validate authenticity and truth.

Obtaining right knowledge by clear and visible experience
Through study, reflection, and consideration to determine a conclusion
Valid testimony, valid evidence or proof from another person, source, or text.

Patanjali advises us that only through inference, study and direct experience (practice) can we validate the truth.

Every aspect of practicing and teaching pranayama is covered through one to one meetings, group modules and live class situations, all online.
