The Yoga Sutras - Patanjali

The Foundational Text of Yoga Philosophy and Meditation

Before the mats and the postures, there was the wisdom of the mind. "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is the seminal text that defined the practice of Raja Yoga (the Royal Path). Compiled over 2,000 years ago, these 196 aphorisms offer a timeless roadmap for mastering the mind and achieving self-realization.

This edition delves deep into the Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga), moving beyond simple physical exercise to explore the ethics of Yamas and Niyamas, the power of breath (Pranayama), and the ultimate stillness of Samadhi. Patanjali’s precise psychological insights serve as a manual for anyone seeking to silence the "fluctuations of the mind" (Chitta Vritti Nirodha).

Essential for yoga teachers, philosophy students, and serious practitioners, this book is the cornerstone of Indian philosophy and the key to unlocking the true spiritual potential of your practice.
