Yoga term of the week: Yoga Sutras

by — September 19, 2017

Welcome to our weekly series dedicated to helping you navigate the confusing lingo of yoga. Beginner or not, this ‘yoga dictionary’ will be here every Tuesday to quench your curiosity about a new, bizarre yogi word.

This week’s term:

Yoga Sutras

The yoga sutras are the philosophical bases of yoga. They help lead you onto the path of Enlightenment, and is widely regarded as the authoritative text on yoga and its ideals.

Once you feel like taking your yoga practice and learning beyond the studio (say, to a beach), check out some yoga holidays and retreats and indulge your inner yogini/yogi.

What yoga lingo confuses you? Let us know in the comments below and we’ll feature it in this series! For a full list, head to our yoga dictionary.

You can find Meghan living in London, drinking American coffee and eating any Thai food or sushi you put in front of her. Hailing from the barren, snowy lands of North Dakota (that's just north of South Dakota), she still calls the pavement a 'sidewalk,' and constantly gets mistaken for a Canadian because of her Midwestern accent.
