Yoga of the Subtle Body by Tias Little

Yoga of the Subtle Body by Tias Little

With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle body

If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is about much more than just the body-the practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the psychospiritual forces that animate it. Here, Tias Little provides a way to understand these forces as they relate to an integrated yoga of body, mind, and spirit. He unites somatic concepts and wisdom teachings in this practical guide to the anatomy of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle (or energetic) body. Little is a master teacher who offers us a guided tour of the body's structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new structural awareness as the basis for exploring the subtle body. In a meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. Further, Little offers readers clear, insightful yoga, pranayama, and meditation exercises that apply these body-mind principles.

Students can get a deeper understanding and awareness of their practice both on and off the mat because to TIAS LITTLE's unique and skilled approach. His method of practice is multidisciplinary, passionate, clever, inventive, and insightful. Years of study in traditional yoga, Sanskrit, Buddhist studies, anatomy, massage, and trauma treatment have culminated in Tias. Tias began studying B.K.S. Iyengar's work in 1984, and in 1989, he lived in Mysore, India, where he studied Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Pattabhi Jois. As a result, his teaching combines alignment perfection, anatomical detail, and a profound spiritual experience.

Tias is a certified massage therapist who has also completed extensive training in cranial-sacral therapy. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Thomas Hanna's work have inspired his practice and teaching. Tias has studied the contemplative arts and Buddhist studies for a long period, beginning with Vipassana and progressing through Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. His teaching technique is unique in that he can combine poetic metaphor with precise instruction that is full of compassion and humor.

Tias has a Master's degree in Eastern Philosophy from St. John's University. In 1998, I graduated from St. John's College in Santa Fe. The Thread of Breath, Meditations on a Dewdrop, and Yoga of the Subtle Body are Tias' three books.
