Yoga is the ability to direct the mind without distraction or interruption. The Yoga Sutra is a potent tool for the teacher who is able to make it relevant to the student and thus transmit the transformative power of the heart. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is exceptionally open, which is in part what makes it so profound. As yoga study and practice develop, the message of the sutra take on a deeper resonance and becomes more relevant, move revealing. For this reason I think the Yoga Sutra makes yoga more comprehensible than any other text.

我认为瑜伽不光是一种身体运动，她是建立了一座通往自我心灵的桥梁，教会如何与自己交流，然后再的与外界交流的过程。有了SUTRA就能更快的理解练习ASANA的必要性，也能很好的把握这些ASANA会给自己的练习带来什么。如果一味的追求ASANA的难度，反而与瑜伽的精神背道而驰了，所以我认为在练习YOGA时，SUTRA是很必要和有效的工具。
