Synopsis
This comprehensive reference offers a portrayal of a rich and highly complex spiritual tradition of India, its many approaches, schools, and teachers, its scriptures and its technical terminology. The book is arranged and written so that it will inform rather than overwhelm the lay reader.

From the Author
A resource for every serious Yoga student.
If you are serious about Yoga, this is the one book you should have on your shelves. It will give you a sense of the vastness of the yogic tradition and will answer most of your questions about it. I wrote this book after 30 years of research and practice, and I am very much aware of all the things the encyclopedia doesn't cover. So, you might also want to acquire my life's work THE YOGA TRADITION, which will be available toward the end of 1998.

An invaluable resource book for all lovers of yoga, meditation, spirituality, and human potential. Dispels many common misconceptions about yoga and reveals its true message. A great buy!

One of the most indispensable books for a serious student
The Shambala Encyclopedia of Yoga contains more than 2380 terms associated with Yoga, terms spanning millenia of Yoga history right from the Vedas till the modern age. No serious student of Yoga can afford not to have this book.

One can savour the online version of this encyclopedia at Georg Feuerstein's website Traditional Yoga Studies (web address: http://www.yrec.info). Each term of this encyclopedia contains a wealth of information on Yoga.
