How Yoga Works

By
Geshe Michael Roach
Diamond Cutter Press
 The Yoga Sutra is the great motherbook of all the yoga works ever
written; it was composed by the Indian master Patanjali some 2,000
years ago. The Sanskrit text is written in 210 brief, cryptic verses
whose meaning has long ago sunk into darkness; the many,
confusing modern attempts to explain them bear little resemblance
to each other, which is just a sign of how difficult this priceless little
book can be. Geshe Michael Roach is an honors graduate of
Princeton University and the first westerner in the 600-year history
of Sera Mey Tibetan Monastery to be awarded the degree of Geshe,
or Master of Buddhism. He is known for his business bestseller, The
Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Managing Your Business & Your
Life. Using a database of almost half a million pages of ancient
Asian literature, Geshe Michael has produced a fresh, clear, and
immediately usable translation of the Yoga Sutra in the form of a
wonderful novel about a young Tibetan woman who uses the
wisdom to transform the corrupt world around her into a paradise on
earth. How Yoga Works has been acclaimed as a must-read for
anyone who does yoga and who wants to know what the Yoga Sutra
really says. It is an especially popular reading for yoga teacher
training courses throughout the world, and as a personal daily guide
for spiritual inspiration.
