Philip Woolridge’s Journey into the Depth of the Yoga Sutras
Philip Woolridge, a Yoga and Meditation Teacher from Fairfax, Virginia, had spent years exploring various paths of spiritual wisdom, but it was only after joining Adhiyogi’s Yoga Sutra classes that he truly felt he was learning from someone with a deep and complete understanding of this ancient text.
For Philip, the experience was nothing short of transformative. “It’s the first time I’ve had the opportunity to study from someone who thoroughly understands the Sutras,” he reflected. Each class opened new doors of insight, sparking numerous topics he wished to explore further. But one in particular stayed with him — a question posed by Adhiyogi during class: “Do you know about the mistakes in Buddhist philosophy?”
Philip realized he had never encountered this line of inquiry before. Intrigued, he asked for references to learn more, eager to deepen his understanding beyond the surface of traditional study.
While the Yoga Sutras themselves provided a profound foundation, it was Adhiyogi’s unique, thought-provoking approach that left the deepest impression. Philip walked away from the course not only with greater philosophical clarity but also with the inspiration to continue his journey with a renewed sense of curiosity and purpose.
OM Shantiḥ.
