About the Author
Patañjali was an ancient Indian spiritual teacher – or possibly the name of, or given to, a number of teachers. He lived sometime between 500 BC and 300 AD, and his Sutras form one of the foundational texts of yoga. Sri Swami Satchidananda was a twentieth-century Indian yoga master, teacher, and popularizer who helped to bring yogic ideas and practices to a modern Western audience.
