Yet for many yoga practitioners, its deeper treasures remain either unknown or mired in obscurity. Ranju Roy and David Charlton focus on 18 of the most important sutras and show how each one illuminates the relationship between the body, the breath, and the mind in a practical, clear, and contemporary manner. The sutras are carefully deconstructed, put into context and then developed into ideas for practice. The authors examine the interplay of three key terms: support, direction and space. They suggest that only by taking support on something can you establish a clear direction; and only then can a space open up to grow into. This formula can be applied as successfully to the body (in \u003ci\u003easana\u003c\/i\u003e) as to the breath (in \u003ci\u003epranayama\u003c\/i\u003e) and the mind (through meditation). With illustrated asana sequences and suggested practices, \u003ci\u003eEmbodying the Yoga Sutra\u003c\/i\u003e is both a practical as well as a deeply philosophical book. Roy and Charlton give readers a whole new vocabulary with which to understand yoga as a living, vibrant and dynamic tradition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRanju Roy\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eDavid Charlton \u003c\/b\u003efounded Sadhana Mala in 2004.
