This is such a beautiful, from the heart, article.  The author has captured the essence of this Sutra through her own experiences and journey of yoga.  Angel has helped me understand how important the sutras are to study as part of our yoga practice and journey. 

Such a beautifully written, from the heart, interpretation of Sutra 2.1. The sacred relationship of the trinity of svadhyaya, tapas, and Ishvarapranidhana. Thank you for this inspiring article!
