| This coffee-table
yoga book reflecting the resurgence of yoga as a glamorous,
fashionable and now mainstream exercise. Kathy Phillips has
practiced yoga for nearly 30 years. She is Health and Beauty
Director of British Vogue, and her previous books include "Book
of Blondes" and "Yoga for Children". |
Here is a practical and accessible
introduction to the full, multifaceted richness of the yoga
tradition. While most yoga books focus only on poses, Yoga for
Body, Breath, and Mind integrates the three fundamental elements
of a complete yoga practice: asanas (poses), pranayama (breathing
practices), and meditation. A. G. Mohan, an internationally
respected teacher, also explains essential philosophical concepts
and offers the yogic perspective on health and healing. |
In this practical guide to
inner life, Swami Rama-one of the most advanced yoga masters
to visit the West-teaches us how to slip beyond the mental turbulence
of our ordinary thought processes into an infinite reservoir
of consciousness from which we can draw guidance, creative power,
joy, and tranquility. The techniques presented here have been
used by the sages of India from time immemorial to live in harmony
with the world around them, to find strength to face life's
difficulties, and to know themselves. |
