Synopsis

Written more than 2,000 years ago, Patanjali’s sutras are presented here as concise, line-by-line teachings, regarded among the earliest and most revered references in yoga. Iyengar translates each sutra and adds commentary and explanation intended to make the text approachable for modern readers.

The sutras set out how yoga practice can support personal transformation, with attention to the development of mind, body and emotions, and they introduce the spiritual philosophy that underpins yoga practice. Thorough cross-referencing and an index help make this edition accessible for readers interested in Indian philosophy as well as yoga practitioners.
