Course Overview

Meet Yourself with Clarity, Compassion, and Wisdom

Learn to meet the full truth of who you are with compassion, discernment, and the steady support of yogic wisdom.

In The Process of Awakening, Kevin Courtney will hold you through a five week container where you’ll deepen self-understanding through meditation, self-inquiry, and classical yoga philosophy.

Drawing from the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and selected teachings from the eight limbs, this course helps you turn inward—to observe the movement of your mind, the patterns you carry, the intelligence of your body and breath, and the wisdom already within you.

Kevin brings the perspective of a longtime practitioner and teacher whose approach has been shaped by study with Nikki Costello, Rod Stryker, Richard Freeman, and Swami Satchidananda. His guidance is grounded, reflective, and reverent—offering these teachings as something to experience, not simply understand.

This five-week journey is designed to unfold gradually. Through daily meditation and reflection, you’ll give the teachings space to settle, deepen, and support your own process of awakening—in your practice and in your life.


What You'll Learn:

  • Foundational teachings from the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and the eight limbs of yoga

  • How yoga philosophy understands the relationship between mind, ego, intellect, body, breath, and prana (life force energy)

  • Why compassion, truthfulness, contentment, and discernment are essential to looking within


What You'll Experience:

  • Five weekly teachings that combine yoga philosophy, meditation, and guided self-inquiry

  • Reflective practices that help you observe what is present in your body, mind, and heart and breath

  • Simple prompts and contemplations to support integration in your practice and daily life


How You’ll Feel:

  • Clearer about the patterns, roles, and habits that shape your experience

  • More able to meet discomfort, emotion, and change with compassion instead of judgment

  • More connected to your breath, inner steadiness, and capacity to witness what arises


What You'll Gain:

  • A deeper relationship with yoga beyond asana, including philosophy, meditation, and the eight limbs of yoga

  • Greater discernment around the movements of your mind, ego, body, breath, and energy

  • Tools to reconnect with your essential nature through breath, awareness, and steady inner listening


Who This Course is For:

  • Anyone wanting a spacious, compassionate approach to meeting the full truth of who they are

  • Students who are ready to explore yoga beyond physical postures and want to learn more about yoga philosophy in an accessible, personal way

  • Yoga teachers and dedicated students seeking contemplative tools to deepen their personal practice


Let this five-week journey become a doorway into clearer seeing. Begin The Process of Awakening and discover what becomes possible when you meet yourself with presence, honesty, and compassion.
