Interview with Carroll Ann Friedmann, author of Practicing the Yoga Sutras

Practicing the Yoga Sutras by Carroll Ann Friedmann combines
clear explanations of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with prompts
for personal discovery and reflection. The concise instructions
and explanations offered by the Yoga Sutras are still powerful
and exceedingly valuable for moving toward peace and knowledge of
the Self. Practicing the Yoga Sutras also offers space for
personal reflections and self-study notes. I recently had the
chance to talk to Carroll Ann about her book and practical ways
to apply its teachings and The Yoga Sutras to your daily life.
She shares insights about specific group of sutras including
samyama, abhyasa, and Vairagya and how they can influence our
attitudes and behaviors. She also talks about her background as
the owner and yoga teacher at Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville and
the Ivy Yoga School. I have had my own personal yoga practice now
for close to 11 years and found her insights about yoga and the
Yoga Sutras to be practical, ways to enhance my own yoga
practice, and deepen my connection to my spiritual Self. One of
my favorite parts of the conversation with Carroll Ann is talking
about how to deepen your own yoga practices by focusing on the
spiritual aspects of yoga. She provides clear explanations of how
yoga not only affects us physically, but also on a spiritual and
emotional level too. For more information you can visit her
