Synopsis

B. K. S. Iyengar brings his characteristic precision and clarity to the philosophical heart of yoga through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a foundational set of 196 aphorisms. Each sutra is presented in Sanskrit, with transliteration and an English translation, followed by Iyengar’s commentary and explanation for contemporary readers.

Alongside close reading, the book draws connections between themes across the sutras and considers how yoga practice can shape mind, body and emotions as part of a gradual process of transformation. Classified under Oriental and Indian philosophy, it is written for a general readership.
