Practicing Freedom: The Yoga Sutra of Patajali

by W.V. Fitz-Simon

For almost 2000 years, the Yoga Sutra of Patañjali has been the definitive guide to the practice of yoga. Deep in his exposition of yogic philosophy, Patañjali is also clear and forthright in his outline of what it will take to free ourselves completely from the ongoing suffering and loss that we experience on a daily basis. As valid today as it was when first written, this ancient classic outlines nothing less than a complete approach to life itself. This new edition provides a readily accessible English rendition presented side-by-side with the Sanskrit original. Lucid commentary and a study guide clearly outlining the key terms and concepts for easy reference make this an ideal volume for both the student and the general reader. Articulate and insightful, this work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in achieving personal transformation through meditation and yoga. "Witold reveals the core of yoga with intelligence, insight, and creativity, making it accessible to the modern yoga practitioner. His passion for every aspect of yoga infuses his teaching, making the journey all the more compelling." Kristen Davis Yoga Teacher/Owner, Yogâsana Center for Yoga, Brooklyn, NY
