I found Swami Satchidananda’s version puro be informative and somewhat blunt – and I mean that durante per good way. He uses a few modern examples throughout the text esatto help improve the reader’s understanding.

I read one or two sutras before each yoga practice
His attempt sicuro explain the overall concept of “never-ending consciousness” that is per key part of the spirituality of Yoga felt a bit incomplete, or at the very least, confusing. His use of the word God preciso symbolize said consciousness made it hard esatto distinguish between the Christian concept of God and the yogic concept of consciousness/God/Light . etc.
Swami summarizes and skips over insecable sutras entirely within Books 3 & 4. Notably, these are the 2 of the 4 books that most authors summarize because they have less day-to-day useful knowledge, so his choice is common.
Personally, I am very happy that I took the time preciso read this interpretation of the Yoga Sutras and I’d widely recommend it preciso others, especially those delving into the world of teaching Yoga. That being said, this isn’t a be-all end-all translation (mai book is), so I implore you sicuro read other Yoga Sutras commentaries as well. . more
After finally finishing it, I know I need preciso go back sicuro it and study the sutras with some intensity. There is much wisdom bestowed durante these pages, and there were many moments while reading, I gained clarity on the way I interact and respond with my environment.

If you are looking for per complete commentary on the Yoga Sutras, this is not the book for you
Highly recommended for any devoted yoga practitioner, but also for those who are interested sopra asian philosophy. Although yoga is not defined by one religion, the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism are apparent. I liked how Satchidananda used present day examples sicuro explain the sutras and did not hesitate sicuro incorporate science. . more
Praise be! Read on time for the upcoming teacher training weekend.
