Dating back to India of the second century B.C., the yoga sutras constitute a complete manual for the study and practice of the philosophical system. The sutras, or threads, are aphorisms of wisdom that offer guidelines to living a meaningful and purposeful life. This volume explains the eight limbs of the discipline: restraint, observances, posture, breath control, withdrawal from the senses, attention, meditation, and stillness.\u003cbr\u003eLittle is known about the life of Patanjali beyond the assumption that he was a contemporary of the Buddha. Charles Johnston, an immensely learned scholar of Eastern traditions, offers modern readers a straightforward translation of Patanjali's writings. This easy-to-follow interpretation will prove a rewarding companion to yoga students, participants in teacher-training programs, and students of Eastern philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486836797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486836799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ixia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Charles Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990201925887,"sku":"9780486836799","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea0c5c0d-c3f2-4186-af97-cbbd78b1cc60.jpg?v=1683303579","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yoga-sutras-of-patanjali-charles-johnston-9780486836799","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
