The Essential Yoga Sutra: Ancient Wisdom for Your Yoga

by Geshe Michael Roach and Christie McNally

The Yoga Sutra is the first and most important book ever written about yoga. It was composed by the Indian master Patanjali about 17 centuries ago, in Sanskrit. The sutra is accepted as the ultimate source by all modern schools of yoga, including Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, Anusara, and Tibetan Heart Yoga. It's a book that every teacher and practitioner of yoga should read and use-a guide to our yoga and our life.

This new translation and explanation of the sutra make it easy to actually use for your own yoga practice. It's clear and accurate, based on over 100 ancient manuscripts from India and Tibet which have never been available in English.

The authors have spent more than 25 years in Asia mastering and refining the techniques found in the sutra. They are a popular team who have helped students in yoga centers around the world apply this ancient knowledge immediately for better health, energy, and clarity.
