Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

​There have been some big changes for me over the last few months, new home, new town and new school for my boy and ultimately new places to practice and teach yoga.

I'm grateful that my continued yoga practice allows me to let go of attachment to sadness at missing my family and friends. I can be with myself at ease, I can feel the freedom and possibilities starting to open up and have just signed up to do some Raja Yoga training which is the Science of Yoga - the understanding and complete mastery over the mind. Over the duration of the Raja training I will be studying the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, there are 200 sutras in total. The Yoga Sutras are just words alone, so they have been translated by Swami Satchidananda to give some clarity.

Sri Swami Satchidananda is respected worldwide as one of the major pioneers of the interfaith movement and as one of the most respected Yoga Masters of our time. He is the author of many books, including Integral Yoga Hatha, To Know Your Self, The Living Gita, and The Golden Present. He is the subject of three biographies, Apostle of Peace, Portrait of a Modern Sage, and Boundless Giving.  

Apparently the teaching of Raja Yoga are a golden key to unlock all health, happiness, peace and joy....well it certainly sounds good to me.
