Join us for a talk by Karen O'Brien-Kop at 3D@VU about the profound philosophical depth of the Yogasutra and why this collection of Sanskrit sutras on the theory and practice of yoga deserves to be read alongside Parmenides' On Nature and Plato's Phaedo as a classic of world philosophy. The discussion will be led by Emma Varini (VU), June Perez (AUC), and Ellie Palmer (University of Edinburgh). Come listen to Karen O'Brien-Kop and ask your question during the Q&A, all while enjoying a free snack and drink. 

About the speaker: Karen O'Brien-Kop is lecturer in Modern Asian Religions at King's College London.
