“Avidyasmita-raga-dvesaabhinivesah klesah

THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI II.3
The impediments (to samadhi) are nescience, ego, desire, aversion and clinging to life.

The first in a series of 6 ateliers that address the obstacles to Yoga.

Klesha is commonly used to mean suffering or obstacle is another well used synonym.

This session takes a short, broad overview of the kleshas and will firmly place them in the modern epoch where they can be seen as essential knowledge in overcoming the impediments that stop the individual experiencing yoga.

The four practical aspects of astanga yoga, asana, pranayama, dhyana and mantra are all practised while the emphasis will be on the importance of understanding the 5 obstacles themselves: ignorance or nescience, ego, attachment, aversion and clinging to life.
