Great book

Narratives where a little speedy for me but it was fine when I went back once or twice. Not an active yoga instructor but still spiritually great book.

Good content bad pronunciations

The book was great but the bad narration was distracting. I’d rather have it in print. Yes

Great discussion, poor pronunciation.

Is it "puh-TOON-juh-lee" or "pag-tahn-YAH-lee"? Neither, but the narrator switched between the two. It's "pah-TAHN-jah-lee". Hard to focus on content with these repeated errors.

Enlightening and insightful treasure

So grateful to have this work and words in my repertoire to deepen my understanding and connection to the teachings of these sacred texts. I highly recommend this supplemental treasure to both simplify and broaden a students understanding of themselves as divinity.

A Little Gem of a Book Spoiled by the Narrator

I do not understand how someone can narrate a book and not bother to look up the proper way to pronounce the word "Patanjali" which is featured in the title and the second half of the book. The narrator uses at least three incorrect pronunciations, without any apparent rhyme or reason.

very difficult to listen

Would you try another book from Kimberly Beyer-Nelson and/or Jack Nolan?

not narrated by jack nolan

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

this is more of a workbook with all these questions

How could the performance have been better?

Jack nolans' way of emphasising is making it difficult and annoying listen to

Not good

Super hard to listen to, it should not be an audio book and also is more of a complimentary reference than an actual introduction.
