User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars very helpful in the study of the sutras

Carrera's sourcebook is helpful in this daunting task of unpacking the sutras of Patanjali. He has explained so nicely his well-organized work which is clearly influenced by his guru, Swami Satchitanada. His clarity and humor are real gems in making this text accessible for the modern day yogi (yogini). It is highly readable and can be used as a resource and reviewed countless times. I find something new each time I read it!

4 Stars interesting insight

Some great information and things to think about – but some of the translations are stilted in an odd way. There is very little actual sanskrit but a great glossary of other terms.

4 Stars Not light reading

The book was kind of hard to get through initially, but the 2nd time through it was great. This is not fluff reading, or a let's-make-everybody-feel-good book. It's very informative and presents a whole new way for me to look at things.

5 Stars Sutra review

Very comprehensive and understandable guide to help with

Pantanjali's complex sutra….I'd recommend for anyone

struggling to better understand sutras. I am using it in

a study group and is by far the best guide in the group!

5 Stars Amazing commentary on the Sutras!

This book is a straight forward, easy to follow, genius commentary on the Sutras. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to further their knowledge on the Sutras. Amazing!!!

   it is easy to learn Yoga although it seems difficult at first try. I practice Yoga mainly for relaxation and for improving my blood circulation.
