The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a 3,000-year-old text that serves as an outline for teachers and students of the practice of Yoga everywhere in the world. This historic work is widely recognized as the original and authoritative text on Raja Yoga and is written in Sanskrit, an ancient, phonetic language whose symbols and words often have multiple meanings.

At the Marblehead School of Raja Yoga, we believe that the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali offers general advice on attitude, including the importance of discernment, determination, and devotion.
