Yoga Beyond the Mat: The Spiritual Dimensions of Yoga That Western Studios Never Teach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257723766)

Yoga is a 5,000-year-old spiritual technology of
liberation. It is also a $130 billion global wellness
industry. These two yogas are no longer the same yoga.

Physical posture represents approximately 4% of what
the original tradition contains. The other 96% - the
ethical foundations, the four yogas, the philosophical
framework, the devotional dimensions, the sacred
practices - has been stripped away as yoga moved from
temple to studio.

This book gives you back the 96%. The Four Yogas
(Karma, Bhakti, Jnana, Raja). The philosophy (Maya,
Atman, Brahman, Karma, Dharma, Moksha). The sacred
dimensions (Guru, Mantra, Puja, Pilgrimage, Hindu
Cosmology). Plus a daily Sadhana framework and a
30-Day Beyond-the-Mat Practice.

Not an attack on Western yoga. An invitation to
discover the rest. Written by an Indian-born,
classically trained teacher who has taught in both
worlds.

23 chapters. 5 parts. The complete tradition recovered.
