Synopsis

Dating back to India of the second century B.C., the Yoga Sutras are presented here as a complete manual for the study and practice of yoga. Johnston’s volume sets out the discipline’s eight limbs: restraint, observances, posture, breath control, withdrawal from the senses, attention, meditation, and stillness.

Written to be straightforward and easy to follow, this translation offers a clear interpretation of the texts’ guidance on living a meaningful, purposeful life, with attention to mind, body and spirit.
