Welcome to Change Your Mind, Change Your Life. Samkhya is one of the six major systems of Indian philosophy, along with Yoga and Vedanta. The Sanskrit word Samkhya (sometimes spelled Sankhya) translates as “enumeration” and refers to identifying and numbering the principles of manifestation.

For yogis, understanding Samkhya is key to understanding the workings of the mind, how it impacts our experience, and how we can change it. It is a map of the human experience that shows us the way from pain and suffering to peace and bliss. When one understands Samkhya, yoga philosophy and practices gain more profound meaning and focus. We have a deeper understanding of why we practice asana, pranayama, mudra, mantra, meditation in a manner that supports us to move from the gross physical level to the more subtle levels of mind and consciousness where we can make lasting changes.

During this course we will explore the concepts of Absolute Reality, the Soul, and liberation of consciousness, as well as learn about the dynamics of the manifestation process, the body, and the nature of the mind in a way that allows for practical application in daily life. Let's get started!
