I have decided that I am going to focus my energies on Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali by Hariharananda as the primary Yoga Sutras and commentary to dive into. While other commentaries exist and have a more modern reading I wanted something that held to the traditional commentary as well as providing a detailed guide. I found the Raja Yoga by Vivekananda was a way to bring the sutras to the west so they lack a lot of the core details, Four Chapters on Freedom by Satyananda seems to not get into depth but seems to almost just reframe the sutras, Bryant got too academic.

Hariharananda will be the primary guide moving forward. To get there I will first be reading these existing translations as an overview before settling on this text as the primary lifelong study. But I will continue rereading the texts to get additional perspectives.
