The two thousand years old Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali is a foundational wisdom text which encapsulates the essential teachings of yoga and meditation. Dr. Sutton’s new translation, clear commentary and study guide is especially valuable for inclusion in Yoga Teacher Training courses and introductory Hindu studies courses. The popular practice of yoga finds its origin in one of the most venerated wisdom books of India: the Yoga Sutras. Comprised of 196 short, insightful statements on the essential teachings of yoga and meditation. To this day, the text continues to be appreciated and studied by yoga students and teachers around the world. Dr. Sutton's book offers accessible translation and commentary without sacrificing the profound wisdom contained in the text.

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient and celebrated wisdom book, explains yoga as a spiritual path universally accessible to anyone. Each of the Gita's eighteen chapters explores a different form of yoga—from action to meditation, from mind yoga to heart yoga. Dr. Sutton's new translation, clear commentary and study guide is especially valuable to yoga and academic teachers and students, and will be welcomed to Yoga Teacher Training courses and University World Religion and Hindu Studies courses. The Bhagavad Gita, which was spoken perhaps five millennia ago and whose written form has been extant for over 2,000 years, has inspired new generations of seekers East and West for centuries, including Emerson and Thoreau, Gandhi and Einstein. The Gita and Yoga Sutras comprise the two primary foundational books on the yoga path, aspects of which have become wildly popular in the West in recent decades.
