From the Author
An intelligent introduction to Yoga.
There are quite a few introductory books on Yoga available today, but few are thoroughly researched. In this book, I have tried to provide a straightforward but intelligent overview of the Yoga tradition. This publication will serve well all those who want to graduate from Hatha Yoga (as commonly understood) to "something more." You might want to read this book in conjunction with my TEACHINGS OF YOGA. If you really want to learn more about this wonderful Indic tradition, you might also want to acquire my SHAMBHALA ENCYCLOPEDIA OF YOGA, which will give you a real appreciation of the greatness and comprehensiveness of Yoga.

Customer Reviews

Great introduction to Yoga.
This book gave me a clearer understanding of Yoga. My greatest compliment is that it sustained my interest enough to read the book to the end. I enjoyed the humanistic tone of the book, and the simple ordering and structure of topics which brought clarity to a potentially overwhelming subject. I look forward very much to reading more of Georg Feuerstein's books.

A great book
Another wonderful introductions to yoga. I recommend it very highly. This is a book that you will read and reread.

Yoga guide
