Tantra of the Yoga Sutras
Patañjali the ShamanÂ
A 6-Week Virtual Mentorship with Dr. Christine Selda
The Yoga Sutras are often studied as philosophy—beautiful, profound, but separate from daily life. Through the Tantrik view, these teachings become lived experience. Not concepts to master, but practices to embody. Not stages to achieve, but an ongoing relationship with awareness itself.
 What happens in our time together:
- Deep dive into Patanjali's Sutras through the non-dual Tantrik lens
- Philosophy teaching with Śakti as our guide
- Mantra practice to embody the teachings
- Satsang - sacred inquiry and community dialogue
- Experiential practices you can integrate immediately
- Tools for living your yoga in daily life
This mentorship is for you if:
- You're a sincere practitioner ready to deepen your relationship with the Sutras
- You want to experience philosophy as embodied practice, not just intellectual study
- You're called to explore yoga through the Tantrik, non-dual view
- You're ready to engage with spiritual evolution as immersion, not accumulation
- You're open to working with the Unseen, the Unknown, and the Unknowable
No prior knowledge of the Yoga Sutras required.

From Dr. Christine Selda:
"My value system is rooted in an animistic perspective that sees all living beings as equal and is based on unconditional love. It is an honour for me to be of service to Awareness. All peoples' awakening is important to me. My awakening is intrinsically linked to yours.
I hold a Doctorate in Philosophy, a Masters in Expressive Arts Therapy and Psychology, and I am a many lifetimes long yogini in all Her different manifestations. I am a spiritual teacher and ally. I work with the Unseen, the Unknown and the Unknowable. I know that I don't know. This is where we will begin and build trust from."
