About This Course

Transcending Karma through the Inward Journey of Traditional Yoga

*******Over 6,000  students are enrolled in this course*******

Yoga is a whole life process. This includes our private practice time, as well as when living our actions (karmas) in the world. Thus, karma yoga is not a separate practice, but a very useful aspect of that one, whole life process of Yoga.

The law of Karma is a universal process, whereby causes lead to effects. This is something that all of us are already familiar with, whether or not we use the word Karma to describe it. Newton's third law of motion, that every action leads to a reaction, is an application of the law of Karma. Whether we are talking about physics or daily life in the world, it is extremely useful to understand the law and process of Karma so that we may regulate or direct the process. Then, gradually, we can come to know, in direct experience, the Joy of Being that is Beyond the Karma.

We can soften the impact of the playing out of our past Karmas, and can choose our own future Karma if we are willing to put in the effort to learn how to do it. This course offers both clear explanations of the traditional concepts of karma, and practical ways of living in and going beyond karma.



  • Understand the meaning of Karma as in traditional Yoga

  • Learn methods of reducing Karma at the levels of Actions, Speech, and Thoughts

  • Reduce the effects of Karma through Contemplation and Meditation

A course to grasp the essence of karma in yoga. This is not learning through obtaining some knowledge, although a lot of yoga philosophy is explained accurately, but it is a course that brings you to a deeper level of understanding karma and yoga. Just listen and reflect. Again and again. Swami Rama inspired. Thank you Swami J. !

Like everybody seeking to know life beyond the physical form, this course was of great use specially in the field of acceptance and seeing things as a whole instead from our ego.

The teacher talked about Karma quite clearly. It give me a new perspect to view the Buddhism theroy about origin and conditions. Some minor details maybe inaccurate, such as talking about the red blood cell split reproduction. But actually it has no nucleus, so it cannot reproduce itself.
