About Young Yogi

Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters is an imaginative interpretation of Patañjali’s classic Yoga Sūtras. Never before has there been such a unique book which explains this complex philosophy in storybook form. And like any good story, it has lots of zany characters, dramatic action, comic relief and heart.

This is not just an intriguing tale, but a comparative tool. Young Yogi’s adventures follow the sequential order of the sūtras as they appear in Patañjali’s first chapter, Samādhi Pada. Readers can gain a deeper understanding by comparing the annotated moments in the book with a traditional translation in the appendix.

This book features amazing illustrations by professional artist Kaori Hamura Long; a foreword by certified yoga teacher, Dena Kingsberg; and sūtra translations by certified yoga teacher, Luke Jordan, MA in Indian Religions.

After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2018, the book is now available to order directly from this website.
