The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali: A Biography

A lot of this was over my head, as it is a kind of philosophy I'm not familiar with, with a history I don't know. However, the outline of the story of the Yoga Sutra is fascinating in a shadowy way, and the methods historians use to deduce facts that are hidden are interesting to read about. There are also centuries of colorful characters involved in the story of the Yoga Sutra, leading up to the luminaries of the 20th century, Krishnamacharya, B.K.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. The book is written in an approachable style and I enjoyed reading it on lunch breaks, on the bus, and before bed.
