The deeper dimension of yoga: theory and practice, paperback/georg feuerstein

Here is a comprehensive survey of the full breadth and depth of the 5,000-year-old Yoga tradition, emphasizing its potent philosophy and spiritual vision.

Georg Feuerstein demonstrates that Yoga is much more than a system of physical exercises--it is a profound path of self-transformation that encompasses a range of teachings, practices, and sacred texts that can help us cultivate wisdom, balance, and inner freedom, as well as physical health.

Feuerstein is one of the few Western scholar-teachers of Yoga whose writing and teaching penetrate the full richness and depth of this ancient tradition.

Here he offers a collection of essays touching on all facets of the discipline.

Topics include: - The different branches and styles of Yoga - The ethical teachings of Yoga - Yoga and vegetarianism - Meditation and mantras - Choosing a teacher - Tantric Yoga - The experience of ecstasy.
