Book excerpt: "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali embrace the entire science of yoga: its philosophy, practices, and moral code. Because the Yoga Sutras are complex and written in sutra form, the use of a separate commentary to unlock their meaning is essential. However, many of the commentaries are dry and academic, and most students become discouraged rather than inspired in their attempts to study the Sutras. This book provides an inviting approach to studying the Yoga Sutras. Beautiful book design, imagery and commentary bring the Sutras to life. Each Sutra is presented in a layout that contains the Sanskrit text, an English translation, imagery that illuminates the Sutra and a commentary.
