Patanjali Yoga Sutra

I’ve deleted and redownloaded multiple time but it won’t load. Just wasted $2.99 🤷‍♂️

In studying the sutras, I enjoy listening along and just allowing the absorption of the beautiful Sanskrit verses. My mind is able to concentrate on the words chanted and allows for a state of being.

I have studied with Dr Ananda in India and he shares the wisdom of yoga with us from his lineage. I had some of this on CD and would listen to it as I drove around. Now having an APP it is more accessible and I can listen and absorb the grounding healing wisdom of the sutras throughout my day.

As a yoga teacher, this is a must have!

This app provides a nice background sound for yoga practice. However, if you are trying to learn to chant, this is not the app you want to get. The different chapters of the Sutras are chanted in their entireties without the ability to go back and forth or repeat a sutra. If you are seeking to work on certain Sutras, you have no way to find an individual Sutra. Once you have learned the 50 or so Sutras in each chapter elsewhere, you could use this app to practice doing the entire chapter at once. Not for beginning Sutra chanters.

Text is a summary of the whole sutra.

This is a great app to listen to yoga sutra being chant. There are two modes - one with one voice chanting yoga sutra, and the other with one voice (supposedly the teacher) and the other voices ("students") repeating the part chanted. What didnt quite work is the accompanying e-book. It does have an introduction re yoga sutra written by someone who seems to have been learning in a traditional way. Yet the app lacks the text of yoga sutra itself (in either Devanagari, transliteration or translation), so you will have to look at other apps for that.
