Yoga sutras

Love listening to this and the way it’s recorded
It’s complex and not sure how much I could repeat, if anything, but a great way to start reading the sutras

Clear Exposition

This was a clear exposition of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with a good commentary and use of metaphors to illustrate the meaning of the sutras.

Music in between each Sutra became annoying.

Overall, listening to this audio book was interesting and educators. I found the option of being able to pause at any point and to type digital notes very convenient and used this option wuite often throughout the audio play.
However, I did find the narration quite monotone also, the music refrain played just before each sutra, became annoying.
I my ears would prefer either soft short instrumental otherwise, silence.
