Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: New Edition

I have just started reading the book. Each sutra is full of wisdom and depth. I hope I learn a lot from this book and become a better person, better mind, and ultimately find myself.

A genuine, readable translation.

One of the best, deepest, most interesting and perhaps life changing books I have ever read. It's the kind of book you will want to read many times throughout your life. I cannot speak to the exact translations as I do not know Sanskrit (the authour does though so I am confident they are accurate), but the analogies and stories used to help illustrate the Sutras were extremely helpful, relatable and encouraging. For me the Sutras themselves were quite overwhelming when I started to read them, so to compensate I got through the book slowly and at a pace that would allow me to assimilate the information in less of a mind blowing way. Knowing that I would not learn everything on one read through also allows for easier reading. If you have any interest in Yoga then a book on the Sutras should perhaps be on your reading list.

Lovely book as an introduction to Yoga Theory and history. Must read if you are embarking on deeper Yoga studies. I have read it several times and return to it often. The author relates and gives examples to apply and suit the modern day, without losing the essence of the sutra. The sutras are written in sanskrit, then in phonetic english. Then the explanation. An easy to read book and opens your eyes. Lots of common sense and is great to read as a reminder that we can use yoga everyday and incorporate into our lives.

This is a very informative and great edition for the layman. Its not too technical and you can understand all the content. Applying it on the other hand is the hard part. This is a book to read and re read for many years to come, so much good advice cant be digested all at once.

This book is a joy to read. I have only been practicing Yoga for a few months; I can see why people say it is an important text to read. Very complex ideas are explained clearly and this explanation I feel helps one make sense of one's own journey. There are certain spiritual concepts I have always been curious about. After reading this text I feel I have a greater idea of what they mean. I feel so fortunate to have come to Yoga practice at this time in my life and to have discovered this book. A great text to keep around, especially during testing times in life.

Insightful and informative content for yoga practitioners to deepen their practice. Written in simple and easy to understand language which is useful for reflection.

Perfect. Exactly as advertised
