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.

DEEP KNOWLEDGE

You will receive solid foundations in a broad range of subjects including:

THE SCIENCE OF YOGA IS A BROAD SUBJECT

The science of yoga is a broad subject and we ensure you receive comprehensive instruction in all of these elements:

Throughout the day there will be short refreshment breaks. Evening meal commences after the workshops are completed with a multiple choice menu. The main meal breaks are at least two hours.
