Sage Patanjali is the 'ancestor' of yoga who develops speech, science of life (ayurveda) and yoga to the human race. His Yoga Sutras are the classical texts in yoga for whoever's interested in the origins and understanding of yoga. It contains short verses which bring understanding and light (i.e. revelations/enlightenments) to one's body, mind and yoga. It's a tradition to praise him and invoke him before yoga practice to have a 'illumined' body & mind for one's yoga practice or class.
yogena cittasya padena vacam
malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena
yopakarottam pravaram muninam
patanjalim pranjalir anato’smi
abahu purusakaram
sankha cakrasi dharinam
shasra sirasam svetam
pranamami patanjalim
hari om
