“Basic Yoga Sutras–The Inner Practice broadened my understanding of my own practice, as well as those of the diverse yoga systems that exist today… It has also given me a greater capacity to communicate the values of a life of spirituality and the scientific principles upon which it rests. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to go deeper into their journey of personal discovery.”
–Bhaktivedanta Vaikhānas Swami, Śrī Govinda Gaudiya Math Bengaluru, India

"Masterfully written and authoritative work; Sravaniya dasi DiPecoraro unravels the deep secrets of the mystic yoga systems including the Yama (ethical) and Niyama (moral) aspects from the basic interactions of Karma up to the culmination of all knowledge, Bhakti yoga. Basic Yoga Sutras–The Inner Practice is a must read for the novice aspirant, and a useful tool for the accomplished yogi and seasoned philosopher as well. Thank you for this valuable contribution to the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya."
–Cyavana Swami (ACBSP), John Milner

“Congratulations. So important to establish the authenticity as well as the authorities of Yoga. Especially in the fast growing yoga world where really anything goes. No doubt your book will be welcome by the yoga community.”
–Radhacaran Das, Vedic philosophy teacher. Based in Beijing, China

“For many of us, yoga is merely a way to achieve physical fitness, with perhaps a bit of meditation thrown in for peace of mind. The ancient Sanskrit writings of India, however, describe it as much more. It is said to be the means to achieve complete self-knowledge, and indeed freedom from all worldly suffering.  In this much needed book, Sravaniya lucidly explains those mystical teachings, taking us through each of the eight steps of classical yoga. Drawing from the famous Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, as well as a host of other sources, ancient and modern, she shows us the importance of properly understanding the real meaning of yoga, and the wonderful results it bestows. This highly accessible and fascinating work will surely interest both the seasoned yoga practitioner as well as the novice.”
