“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?"

One of the great yoga figures of our time, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois brought Ashtanga yoga to the West more than thirty years ago.
Yoga Mala ('Garland of Yoga') is Pattabhi Jois's authoritative guide to Ashtanga Yoga. In it, he outlines the ethical principles and philosophy underlying the discipline, explains important terms and concepts and guides the reader through Ashtanga's Sun Salutations and the subsequent primary seqence of forty tow asanas,(poses) precisely describing how to execute each position and what benefits each provides. It is a foundational work on yoga by a true master.
“The whole purpose of Hatha yoga is to purify and control our senses. It is the ultimate science of helping us discover what lies behind the apparent reality of body and mind.”
Sri K Pattabhi jois

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are included here in its entirety, with a translation and commentary by Desikachar.
