This book introduces, edits and translates the Dattatreyayogasastra, a Sanskrit text on yoga composed in about 1200 CE in South India. It teaches four types of yoga practice but devotes the majority of its 193 verses to hathayoga, which it divides into two varieties, one which consists of the eight auxiliaries first taught by Patanjali and one which has nine physical methods. It is thus the first text to combine the astanga system of Patanjali with physical techniques, and its teachings were highly influential on later authors and commentators of yoga texts. The book is addressed primarily to scholars but will also be of interest to students and practitioners of yoga.Ce livre introduit et présente une édition ainsi qu'une traduction anglaise du Dattatreyayogasastra, un texte sanskrit sur le yoga composé vers 1200 de notre ère dans le sud de l’Inde. Il enseigne quatre types de pratiques de yoga, mais consacre la majorité de ses 193 versets au hathayoga, qu’il divise en deux variétés, l’une constituée des huit auxiliaires enseignés pour la première fois par Patanjali et l’autre comportant neuf méthodes physiques. Ce texte est ainsi le premier à combiner le système astanga de Patanjali avec des techniques physiques, et ses enseignements ont exercé une grande influence sur les auteurs et commentateurs ultérieurs de textes de yoga. Ce livre s’adresse principalement aux chercheurs, mais il intéressera également les étudiants et les praticiens du yoga.
