In this comprehensive guide to yoga, author Nicolai Bachman brings together wisdom from dozens of yoga teachers and students who practice yoga as taught by the legendary master Patanjali. Bachman, a scholar of Sanskrit, translates and updates Patanjali's teachings for a contemporary audience and synthesizes the core principles of this approach to yoga, not only as a physical practice, but as a philosophical and spiritual one. Why do we react in particular ways at particular times? How can suffering catalyze growth? What are the meanings of concepts like nonviolence and truth? With a focus on 51 key concepts, Bachman introduces the reader to everything they need to know about yoga and the sutras, and offers advice for building a consistent practice.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
