Many Voices, one journey. Sounds true.com. You're listening to Insights at the Edge. Today I speak with Nikolai Bachman.

Nikolai has been studying and teaching Sanskrit, Iurveda, and yoga related topics

for 15 years.

He's the author of the Sounds True Book,

The Language of Yoga, which is a guide to Asana names.

Asanas are the names of various yoga postures, and the book also includes Sanskrit

terms and chants.

He is also the author of a new home study course, the Yoga Sutras, an essential guide to the heart of yoga philosophy,

which includes over seven hours of recorded audio material, plus a very fat workbook and even a card set on the Yoga

Sutras. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, we're introduced to the Yoga Sutras, written over 2,000 years ago by Patanjali and brought into this new home study course by Nikolai Bachman.

We also speak most importantly about the essence of yoga and how to incorporate the messages of the

yoga sutras into our life.

Here's my conversation with Nikolai Bachman.

As we begin our conversation about the Yoga Sutras,

Nikolai, I'm wondering if you would be willing to chant for us some kind of opening invocation

that might be appropriate for a conversation about Patanjali and the yoga

sutras. Yes, there's a verse that works.... let me chat it
