Serious yoga students want to bring the wisdom of the Sutras to their practice but often find the text impenetrable and difficult to relate to. Here, yogi and Tantric master Alan Finger offers an interpretation of the Sutras that is clear and immediately relevant—and he shows contemporary practitioners that samadhi is something that they can experience here and now.
Yoga is a process of spiritual evolution, and samadhi is as natural as breathing and available to all, because it is our true nature. Viewed through a Tantric framework, Finger shows us how the Sutras describe the yogic process that both leads us to the experience of samadhi and allows us to weave the wisdom and grace of that experience back into our everyday life.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orAuthor BioAlan Finger was born and raised in South Africa and was a student of Paramahansa Yogananda, Krishnamacharya, and B.

Praise"Yogiraj Alan Finger reveals the secrets of a unique spiritual practice that unfolds human potential to its ultimate goal of freedom from karma and into the full awakening of self-realization, spontaneous creativity, and living in flow." —Deepak Chopra
"In Tantra of the Yoga Sutras, Alan Finger reminds us that yoga is both process and practice. He redefines samadhi as our most vital daily cultivation, and he invites us to experience liberation as the intelligence that infuses every moment of our living when we remember to practice. This is a must-read for teachers and devoted practitioners who wish to gain a satellite perspective on the practice that mercifully renews itself for us every day." —Elena Brower, author of Art of Attention
