Threads in Patañjali’s Wisdom I
A first reading of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, focused on Pāda I and II: what yoga is, how the mind moves, and the practices that steady it. We read each sūtra with its classical commentary and B.K.S. Iyengar’s interpretation, and ask how the teaching lives in practice today.
