Yoga Sutras of Patanjali


"The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is an ancient text comprising 196 short statements about yoga philosophy. There are 4 chapters that highlight concentration, practice, progress and liberation through the eight limbs.

Not much is known about the author, Patanjali, but he is often regarded as "the father of yoga." Yogis are thankful that he took the time to record the sutras to be passed down through the generations. Every yoga system in existence has roots in Patanjali's teachings.
