“What many of us find lacking in the Yoga Sutras lies in their translations, written by and for male scholars from a left-brained, analytical perspective, often obliterating the wisdom they attempt to convey. It is my hope with this book to provide a unique commentary of the Yoga Sutras that emanates from the heart- an intuitive, feminine approach …… In Hindi, the word ‘translation’ means ‘telling the story in another way.’ The Secret Power of Yoga does precisely that, conveying the meaning of Yoga’s most sacred teachings from a heart-centered, feminine view.” [excerpt from The Secret Power of Yoga]
