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
