Re: Our Sutra Studies

It has been a great happiness to welcome devoted yogis and yoginis into the experience of devotional chanting
and the study of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. As we dive deeper you may want to do some reading on your own.
Below please find a very short list of suggestions. Also, a journal might be a valuable tool.

The translation and commentary of the Sutras I’ll be using most is:
THE ESSENCE OF YOGA, Reflections on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
by, Bernard Bouanchaud

There are many translations out there. One of the most poetic I’ve come across is :
YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI, As interpreted by Mukunda Stiles

My first exposure to the Sutras was:
HOW TO KNOW GOD, the Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali
Translated with a commentary by
Swami Prabhavananda & Christopher Isherwood

T. K. V. Desikachar also includes commentary on the sutras is his lovely book:
THE HEART OF YOGA

the Sutra we are presently working with is
I.I atha yoganusasanam
atha — now
yoga — yoga
anusasanam — instruction, orderly arrangement

I am looking forward to hearing how this sutra in unfolding for you in your life.

This pose is great for pregnant Yogis and non-pregnant Yogis.

Side Angle strengthens and stretches the legs, knees, and ankles. It stretches the groins, spine, waist, chest, lungs, and shoulders.
