sutra 1
<blockquote>
अथ योगानुशासनम् ॥१॥

atha yoga-anuśāsanam ॥1॥</blockquote>

''Atha:'' now therefore; ''yoga:'' regarding yoga; ''anuśāsanam:'' prior discipline or instructions

:'''Now, therefore, complete instructions regarding yoga.'''

Before parcticing this yoga shastra, one need to have followed karma yoga to purify his mind, body and bhakti yoga to unify the mental tendencies in order to be ready to apply these sutras in his/her life. Those with impure minds and wavering tendencies are unable to practise what has been instructed in this shastra.
