Mantra de inceput in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
(Se canta o data, la inceputul orei de yoga, inainte de Surya Namaskar A)
vande gurūṇāṁ caraṇāravinde
sandarśita svātma sukhāva bodhe
I bow to the lotus feet of our great teachers,
who uncovers our true self and awakens happiness
niḥ-śreyase jaṅgali-kāyamāne
saṁsāra hālāhala mohaśāṁtyai
ābāhu puruṣākāraṁ
śaṁkhacakrāsi dhāriṇam
sahasra śirasaṁ śvetaṁ
praṇamāmi patañjalim
having 1000 bright heads,
I bow to Patanjali.
