Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is the key text of yoga. Yet for many contemporary practitioners, its deeper treasures remain either
unknown or mired in obscurity. Ranju Roy and David Charlton focus on 18 of the most important sutras and show how each one
illuminates the relationship between the body, the breath and the mind in a practical, clear and contemporary manner. The
sutras are carefully deconstructed, put into context and then developed into ideas for practice.
They examine the interplay of three key terms: support, direction and space. They suggest that only by taking support on something can you establish a clear direction; and only then can a space open up to grow into. This formula can be applied as successfully to the body (in asana) as to the breath (in pranayama) and the mind (through meditation).
With illustrated asana sequences and suggested practices, Embodying the Yoga Sutra is both a practical as well as a deeply philosophical book. Roy and Charlton give readers a whole new vocabulary with which to understand yoga as a living, vibrant and dynamic tradition.
