Yoga the Way to Live (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914485077)

This book is written for the Yoga sadhaka (aspirant), who is seeking to know something more of Yoga, what its roots are, where posture work fits in to the greater picture of the complete science of Yoga, as opposed to being the only purpose of Yoga. Many of the deeper philosophies and basics of yogic philosophy are addressed in this short book. It is written in a way that is easy to understand for those without any previous study of Yoga, but contains higher concepts for the more experienced yoga practitioner to contemplate.

This

book has some simple but useful lessons on yogic lifestyle, which can help

someone to transform their life if followed sincerely.

The

foundations of the yogi or yogini's spiritual life, moral and ethical

considerations are addressed here, in addition to this, other forms of yoga are

looked at briefly for the reader to gain some insight into the great world of

yoga and how the worlds people have developed different strains of perhaps

India's greatest gift, the origins of yoga.

Hinduism in ancient times was very intertwined with Yogic life, as its path requires a

disciplined pure lifestyle in its most refined form. When we study yoga at its

roots, it is important to have some insights into ancient Hindu lifestyle which

this book will include.

One of the aims of this work is to give those who already practise Yoga to develop

their awareness into the higher aspects of Yoga and refine their physical

practice. Yoga is essentially a tool for self development and furthermore a

path to unite with the 'one' that makes up this entire universe - Yoga means

'union'.

I hope this book will allow you to reflect and think about your life, spiritual

journey and Yoga as it has for us.
