In 1967, Salvatore discovered Hatha Yoga. He began his exploration with the Sivananda Yoga Centers in Chicago and Val Morin, Canada. He became a teacher in 1969 when the Yoga-Sutra of Patañjali entered his life. Through the years, Salvatore has established several yoga centers in America and taught yoga related subjects at institutes and universities around the world. From 1980 to 1986 he taught Yoga and Stress Management at Boise State University.

Patañjali, the author of the Yoga-Sutra, grew up in a civilization with a world view radically different from the 21st Century Western world. If we understand how the Vedic culture saw physical and personal reality, we read The Yoga-Sutra with greater comprehension.

The Roadmap of Consciousness, Part II: The Bhagavad-Gita and Yoga-Sutra in a Nutshell
Sunday, January 8
2:00-4:30pm
The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga-Sutra, two intrinsic works of Indian Literature on Yoga, are usually studied separately. In fact, they fit together elegantly. Salvatore has explored both texts to find their powerful areas of interaction. These insights can bring a profound deepening to your practice and your life.
The Yoga Sutra in a Nutshell
The Yoga-Sutra has a core, repeating, pattern. This can be distilled in twelve sutras. All the other sutras explain and elaborate them. Learn these twelve and you have the heart of The Sutra.
