THE ESSENTIAL YOGA SUTRA

PHILOSOPHY-EASTERN The Yoga Sutra Is the first and most important book ever written about yoga. It was composed by the Indian master Patanjali about seventeen 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 use for your own yoga practice. It’s clear and accurate, based on over one hundred ancient manuscripts from India and Tibet that have never been available in English.

GESHE MICHAEL ROACH and CHRISTIE MCNALLY have spent more than twenty-five years in Asia mastering and refining the techniques found in the sutra. They are a popular team that have helped students in yoga centres around the world apply this ancient knowledge immediately for better health, energy, and clarity.
