The Yoga Sutras An Essential Guide to the Heart of Yoga Philosophy
Author: Nicolai Bachman

Deepen Your Yoga Practice with an In-Depth Course on the Sutras of Patanjali with an In-Depth Course on the Sutras of Patanjali We know there's more to the yogic path than asana, or physical postures, but how do we access the deeper wisdom of yoga philosophy? More than 2,000 years ago, the legendary master Patanjali answered this questi... more »on in 195 pearls of insight known as the Yoga Sutras. Now Sanskrit and Ayurveda teacher Nicolai Bachman offers The Yoga Sutras, a complete course with a fresh new approach to working with Patanjali's seminal text for guidance and inspiration on your own journey toward clarity and happiness. Illuminating Wisdom for the Serious Yoga Student Why do we react the way we do in certain situations? How can suffering be an opportunity for growth? Why are nonviolence and truth important to a student? Patanjali's sutras offer an illuminating perspective on these questions and more. To help integrate this wisdom into our modern life, Bachman offers a unique approach. Instead of reading each sutra sequentially from beginning to end, he focuses on and discusses 51 key concepts. By exploring these principles with him and learning to chant the sutras in Sanskrit, the essence of yoga philosophy is revealed--helping us open to its heart and soul. The Yoga Sutras invites you to discover a variety of practical tools and heartfelt insights for transforming your practice, including: A 336-page color-illustrated workbook with a concise history of yoga and the sutras, in-depth explanation of key themes, translation of all 195 sutras, and a complete glossary of Sanskrit terms for quick reference

Six sessions full of insights to further your learning about yoga's essential principles
A guided reading on CD of the complete sutras with pronunciation instructions for following along
Fifty-one study cards to encourage reflection of each concept and inspire action

When you immerse yourself in Patanjali's sutras, the heart of yoga--and what yoga means for you personally--will unveil itself in new and profound ways. Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a student looking to go deeper with your practice, this essential course offers a treasury of teachings to help realize the "outer joy and inner happiness" of yoga. Nicolai Bachman has been studying and teaching Sanskrit, Ayurveda, chanting, and yoga-related topics for 15 years throughout the United States and abroad. He holds a master's degree in Eastern philosophy and has written several books including The Language of Yoga, The Language of Ayurveda, and more. "Here is a superb achievement toward offering a panoramic view of the Yoga Sutras. Bachman threads together the key concepts of the Yoga Sutras with clear and honest language, and the multiple connections he makes are grounded deep in the soil of the Sanskrit language. I consider this an invaluable reference for students committed to the path of yoga." --Tias Little director, Prajna Yoga; author of The Thread of Breath and Meditation on a Dew Drop "A significant and innovative contribution to the growing interest in yoga scriptures in the West." --Sharon Gannon founder, Jivamukti Yoga "This is by far the most complete study course on the Yoga Sutras that I've run across in 30 years of personal study. Nicolai has done the near impossible: devised a unique `core principles' approach to the Yoga Sutras that will educate and inspire both the beginning and the experienced student. A superb piece of work. Patanjali would be proud." --Richard Rosen editor, Yoga Journal; author, The Yoga of Breath and Pranayama: Beyond the Fundamentals Includes 7 CDs * 51 Cards * 336-page Workbook
