Breathing life into yoga practice  |
|
This book by a respected practioner is valuable for several reasons. One, it emphasises the role the breath plays in bringing the asana to life, drawing on traditional sources and texts. Second, it offers a simply laid out translation of Patanjalis yoga sutras - accessible to a beginner. Third it offers an explanation of kundalini missing in other texts. The only curiosity or question mark is, why is the translation of ha and tha at variance with the majority of translations and texts? Was this just an oversight or error? An accessible book, combining philosophy and practice without dumbing-down

A Modern Classic - essential reading for all levels  |
|
TKV Desikachar, a living Yogi, discusses the theory and practice of Yoga as laid down by his father Krishnamacharya, and based upon his own personal practice. It is a Viniyoga manual - yoga adapted to the needs of the individual, and as such will appeal to students and teachers from all branches of yoga. The book is divided into three parts. Part I "The Practice of Yoga" talks about asana and pranayama, and gives some useful sequences. Part II "The understanding of Yoga", deals with right thought and overcoming obstacles. And Part III, "The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali" which offers a translation and commentary of this ancient text. This book also includes some interesting interview / question and answer sections. Which are most useful at gaining a deeper insight into the purpose and proper practice of yoga. Om Shanti

Great book . This book is a must !!!!!  |
I have just bought this book and have read a chapter on procastination ("Do-nothingness"). Burns suggest over 6 ways go combat it. I have been trying to motivate myself to go regularly to the gym so that I can loose weight. After reading the section on Do-NothingNess I was able to challenge my reason for not going to the gym and find practical motivating reasons for going to the gym. I am now visiting the gym 3-4 times a week. I was only just about going once a week.I look forward to reading the other sections on selfworth, depression, diagnosing your mood, learn to talk back when you are under criticism, feeling angry, defeating guilt, coping with stress and strains of daily life, defeating hopelessness and suicuide, commonly prescribed anti depressants. Total of 700 pages and for just under £6 what a bargin!!! Debs
