Anyone interested in Yoga would love to own this core text. Unlike many other yoga books, it does much more than merely describing physical practices and postures, taking the reader on an exploration of the spiritual dimension of yoga, revealing benefits far greater than those which can be attained by physical practice alone. Besides demonstrating the postures of Ashtanga Yoga, Stephen Sturgess discusses the subtle bodies and chakras, yogic moral principles such as non-violence and non-attachment, diet and fasting, breathing and mudras, meditation and concentration. His immense practical experience makes The Yoga Book more than just a technical manual; it is a companion and guide on the path. 302pp, 153mm x 233mm, illus. in b&w, softback, 2002
