The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a foundational Sanskrit text of classical yoga philosophy, compiled roughly 2,000 years ago, comprising around 196 aphorisms organized into four chapters (padas). It outlines the eight limbs (ashtanga) of yoga, including ethical precepts, postures, breath control, and meditation, as a systematic path toward liberation (kaivalya) and stilling the fluctuations of the mind. It remains a core reference for yoga teachers, philosophers, and practitioners studying the tradition's spiritual and psychological underpinnings.
