Comprised of 196 short statements on the essential teachings of yoga, Patanjali's \u003ci\u003eYogasutras\u003c\/i\u003e holds the position of being the seminal work that defines the yoga system. Over the centuries many important commentaries have been written that seek to explain and extrapolate the full meaning of the sutras, and to this day, the text continues to be appreciated for the profound wisdom contained within it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While the \u003ci\u003eYogasutras\u003c\/i\u003e were originally written in Sanskrit, this short course offers an accessible translation and commentary without sacrificing any of its profound wisdom. This edition will allow the reader to study and dive into the meaning and philosophy of this ancient text with its significant contemporary relevance. Yoga students, practitioners, and scholars alike will appreciate the way in which this short course guides the reader through the text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To see available courses from the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, visit ochsonline.org.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicholas Sutton is the Director of the Continuing Education Department of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages.
