The Yoga Sutras



Today I'm beginning my reading in preparation for Dharma Yoga Teacher Training. I'm starting with Alistair Shearer's translation of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a foundational text of yogic teaching.

The opening is both beautiful and sparse:

Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence.

When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded consciousness.
