**When:** Tuesdays, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM EST (Toronto Time) **Start date:** Tuesday, Jun 23, 2026 **Where:** 792 Glencairn Ave., Toronto **Attend online via Zoom:**[ https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89671983431?pwd=hoYVrQG1EF4ibvIieyTnavmXxWcy5h.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89671983431?pwd=hoYVrQG1EF4ibvIieyTnavmXxWcy5h.1) **Primary text:** *Light of the Soul* by Alice Bailey, with supporting perspectives from Madame Blavatsky's Theosophical framework and Lama Govinda's multidimensional consciousness \*\*Free online PDF: \*\*[http://www.mysticknowledge.org/Light_of_the_Soul_-_Alice_Bailey.pdf](http://www.mysticknowledge.org/Light_of_the_Soul_-_Alice_Bailey.pdf) (Prior reading is not required.) **About the series:** The first four limbs of yoga are presented not merely as ethical rules or techniques, but as a practical science of consciousness refinement. * Experience → Distortion → Transformation: Through the dimensions of time and space, experience generates distortions — and distortions generate opportunities for transformation. The work of the aspirant is to consciously refine these experiences into enduring impressions of beauty and love. * What is an impression? The essence of experience that remains after the physical event, emotional reaction, and personal attachment have passed away — *experience without attachment.* * The 12-module arc: Yama, Niyama, Asana, and Pranayama progressively prepare the way for soul contact through purification, right relationship, stabilization, and conscious regulation of life force. * Not withdrawal, but engagement: This is not a path of asceticism or passivity. The aspirant does not seek to escape the world, but to engage with it more skillfully, more compassionately, and with greater awareness — transforming everyday experience into an opportunity for growth, service, and the realization of our deeper unity with all beings. **Class dynamic:** Each session opens with a group centering meditation, followed by a teacher-led lesson with slides. Newcomers are welcome to simply listen in. Those ready to engage are invited to contribute questions or insights. Our goal is an atmosphere of genuine shared inquiry. **Modules:** 1. **The Purpose of Evolution —** Transforming Experience into Beauty and Love Impressions 2. Why Consciousness Suffers 3. **The Field of Impressions —** Samskara, Memory, and the Astral Light 4. **Yama I —** Harmlessness and Right Relationship 5. **Yama II —** Truthfulness and the Right Use of Energy 6. **Yama III —** Non-Grasping and Freedom from Possession 7. **Niyama I —** Purification and the Transformation of Time 8. **Niyama II —** Contentment and Sacred Tension 9. **Niyama III —** Self-Study and Surrender to the Soul 10. **The Science of Detachment —** Witness Consciousness and the Burning Ground 11. **Asana —** Stabilizing the Instrument of Consciousness 12. **Pranayama —** Regulation of Life Force and Conscious Circulation **Overall arc:** * **Modules 1–3:** Understanding distortion and impressions * **Modules 4–6:** Purifying relationship and spatial distortion * **Modules 7–9:** Purifying time distortion and identity * **Modules 10–12:** Stabilizing and refining the instruments of consciousness *Final synthesis: The first four limbs of yoga gradually train the aspirant to observe without identification, experience without attachment, relate without separation, and transform distortion into enduring impressions of beauty and love.*
