Yoga by the Numbers: The Sacred and Symbolic in Yoga Philosophy and Practice

By Richard Rosen

Numbers play a meaningful role in the philosophy of many spiritual traditions—and yoga is no exception. For example, the number one is the quintessential yoga number, representing unity and wholeness; number two sometimes stands for cooperative effort and other times for conflict; and there are twelve different names for the mantra OM, each one revealing a different aspect of this root sound.

With his distinctive blend of knowledge and humor, Richard Rosen unpacks the fascinating significance that numbers hold in the philosophy of yoga. He weaves stories and practices throughout, offering readers a hands-on way to explore the importance of numbers in their own practice.

He covers the numerical aspects of Indian philosophy, the subtle body, Shiva and Shakti, hatha yoga, preliminary and main practices, mantra, a lots more.
