Refining and simplifying the original title while retaining the essential product keyword, here's the revised title: Yoga Sutras Illuminated

BKS Iyengar's translation and commentary on these ancient yoga sutras has been described as the "bible" of yoga. Patanjali wrote this collection of yoga wisdom over 2,000 years ago, and they are amongst the world's most revered and ancient teachings, being the earliest, most holy yoga reference. This new edition of the classic text contains a new introduction by BKS Iyengar, as well as a foreword by Godfrey Devereux, author of Dynamic Yoga.

The Sutras are short and to the point – each being only a line or two long. BKS Iyengar has translated each one and provided his own insightful commentary and explanation for modern readers. The Sutras show the reader how we can transform ourselves through the practice of yoga, gradually developing the mind, body, and emotions, so we can become spiritually evolved.
