Yoga Sutras of Patanjali By Alistair Shearer

Alistair Shearer translates and introduces Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras in this compact volume from the Sacred Teachings series. The aphorisms explore yoga as a path of self-knowledge, attention and mental stillness rather than a collection of physical poses.

Choose this edition for a concise introduction to the philosophy behind yoga and a text suited to slow, reflective reading. Shearer is the translator and introducer of Patanjali’s work. This ISBN identifies the 144-page hardcover edition, not a posture manual.
