Background to the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali - Corporate Yoga Training

To understand Yoga, to experience Yoga, to apply Yoga to our daily life, we need to study this oldest, most authentic text of Yoga. In 195 short aphorisms – sentences, divided into four chapters – it covers the seekers journey on the path of Yoga. This text is often called, the ‘Bible of Yoga’. However it is not a manual. Its original sentences are cryptic, difficult to understand.
