Sage Pathanjali was found near an ant hill; He was supposed to have appeared through a hole in the ground (Pilathuvaram). Raised by foster parents (the God Siva & Goddess Parvathi themselves), learnt yoga sutra from Adhi Yogi Siva Himself. Pathanjali gave Yoga to the world in the form of aphorisms- A single line self contained sentence, a total 196 in number.

Pathanjali’s Yoga Sutra is divided into four chapters

Samadhi Padam - Ecstasy - 51 aphorisms

Sadhana Padam - Path - 55 aphorisms

Vibudhi Padam         - Pavers     - 56 aphorisms

Kaivalya Padam - Liberation - 34 aphorisms

Pathanjali is contemporary of sage Vyagrahapathar (also an exponent of Yoga an ardent worshipper of Adhi Yogi Siva)

Both the sages had been interned at Thirupattur near Thiruchirappalli - Past Samayapuram.
