Why read it?
1 author picked The Unadorned Thread of Yoga as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I constantly refer to this book in my teaching and personal study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. The word ‘sutra’ means ‘thread’ and Zambito definitely helps me to untangle the webs that many books on the subject seem to weave.
