Home Telos Model

The Telos Model is based on integral yoga psychology extensively described in the collected works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The model given here does not cover the full complexity of the integral model of consciousness mapped by them, instead, this gives only an entry-level basic model to get easy access to integral yoga psychology and its transformational practice.
