The Yoga Sutras

An Essential Guide to the Heart of Yoga Philosophy

De: Nicolai Bachman

Narrado por: Nicolai Bachman

Deepen your practice with this audio journey into the source-language teachings of yoga

Yoga practitioners know there’s more to the path than asana, or physical postures - but how do we access the deeper wisdom of yogic philosophy?

More than 2,000 years ago, the legendary master Patanjali answered this question in 195 pearls of insight known as the Yoga Sutras. Now Sanskrit and Ayurveda teacher Nicolai Bachman offers The Yoga Sutras, an audio program with a fresh approach to working with Patanjali’s seminal text for guidance and inspiration on your own journey toward clarity and happiness.

Why do we react the way we do in certain situations? How can suffering be an opportunity for growth? Why are nonviolence and truth important to a student? Patanjali’s sutras offer an illuminating perspective on these questions and more.

To help integrate this wisdom into our modern life, Bachman offers a unique approach. Instead of reading each sutra sequentially from beginning to end, he focuses on and discusses 51 key concepts. By exploring these principles and learning to chant the sutras in Sanskrit, the essence of yogic philosophy is revealed - helping us open to its heart and soul.

The Yoga Sutras invites you to discover a variety of practical tools and heartfelt insights for transforming your practice, including:

• Six sessions full of insights to further your learning about yoga’s essential principles
• A guided reading of the complete sutras with pronunciation instructions for following along
• Key concepts for understanding the social, religious, and historical context of the sutras
• Teachings on humility, the inner light of awareness, the nature of suffering, the importance of nonviolence, the meaning of liberation, and much more

As you immerse yourself in Patanjali’s sutras, the heart of yoga - and what yoga means for you personally - will unveil itself in new and profound ways. Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or a student looking to go deeper with your practice, this essential course offers a treasury of teachings to help realize the “outer joy and inner happiness” of yoga.

Phenomenal!!

I don’t know how I’ve been practicing Yoga “asanas” for so many years and never learned the sutras and mantras. This is the gold I’ve been looking for in spirituality for so many years and it was right under my nose the whole time. Beautiful work. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you, Nicolai!!! 🙏🏼✨🧘🏻‍♀️☺️

Makes yoga make more sense

Just finished. Going back to the beginning now. Re my background, more than 25 years since first trip to India. Plus 20 years yoga practice, including study of the sutras in India

A Sutra Masterclass!!!

Such an amazing experience. More than just a book on the Yoga Sutras, but a true Masterclass! Nicholai Bachman's voice is clear and easy to understand. Listening to a book that is narrated by the author is the best way in my opinion. It's like they are speaking to you rather than reading a book. I think that there is actually more in the audio book than the original text... but I could be wrong about that.

A favorite Sutra Commentary

The readings in Sanskrit was pleasing and the interpretations are clear and quite exact. The commentary was most valuable.

The PDF is a chapter summary

The author keep referring to diagrams in the audiobook, although none can be found in the PDF (witch only lists the chapters of the audiobook).
