The Spiritual Teachings of Yoga by Mark Forstater

The Spiritual Teachings of Yoga by Mark Forstater

The beneficial effect of practising yoga is well-cited and further evident in its phenomenal growth in recent years. The ancient philosophy behind yoga practice, however, is less well known in the west. In this spiritual book, the authors introduce the wisdom of yoga that leads to a way of life that is at least 5,000 years old in India. The word 'yoga' means union, and the teachings of yoga convey a union on all levels of being as the person is at one with itself, with the divine, and with nature. Presenting the key philosophical texts from the "Yoga Sutras", the "Bhagavad Gita", the "Vedas" and the "Upanishads" in an accessible, poetic manner, this book explores the recurrent themes common to all schools of yoga - explaining how they can be incorporated into our lives to deepen the yoga experience.

'Forstater and Manuel have done us a great service to put the perspective of Yoga into its classical contextThe vastness of the scope of Yoga is clearly elucidated in this thoughtful book, reminding us that Yoga is best understood as the art and science of living spiritual evolution.' -- Mukunda Stiles, author of Structural Yoga Therapy
