YOGA, POWER & SPIRIT: PATANJALI THE SHAMAN Alberto Villoldo
In his spiritual practice and extensive research, shaman Alberto Villoldo has come to recognise many parallels between yoga and shamanism: both yogis and shamans seek to master higher levels of consciousness, both seek stillness, enlightenment and healing.
