Georg Feuerstein demonstrates that Yoga is much more than a system of physical exercises—it is a profound path of self-transformation that encompasses a range of teachings, practices, and sacred texts that can help us cultivate wisdom, balance, and inner freedom, as well as physical health.
Feuerstein is one of the few Western scholar-teachers of Yoga whose writing and teaching penetrate the full richness and depth of this ancient tradition. Here he offers a collection of essays touching on all facets of the discipline.
Topics include:
• The different branches and styles of Yoga
• The ethical teachings of Yoga
• Yoga and vegetarianism
• Meditation and mantras
• Choosing a teacher
• Tantric Yoga
• The experience of ecstasy | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Required reading for anyone who thinks they practice yogaFeb 12, 2007
By A. McDuffee
This book will wake you up to what yoga really is--a set of hardcore spiritual disciplines that lead to full liberation from suffering...if you practice long and hard and smart enough!
This book represents the best of academic writing. Written as a collection of very readable 2-5 page essays, it is as inspiring as it is informative. Georg never compromises his position that yoga requires intense practice and study to reach the final goal, nor does he lose sight of the integral nature of yoga sadhana (no 30 days to loose hamstrings here!).
Read this in a week and you'll know more about yoga than most so-called yoga teachers...and you'll be inspired to practice more seriously than ever, whether your practice of yoga involves the postures or not!

The Deeper Dimension of Yoga is Up There!Feb 09, 2004
Georg Feuerstein has produced a large number of books. This is my all-time favorite, because it covers in essay form a vast territory. All the essays are highly readable and thought-provoking. Let's have more of this sort of anthology.

Please can we save paper and get ebook editions?May 09, 2011
By Leah S. Gain
"Virtual Steve"
As for so many of Georg's scholarly works this book is wonderful BUT PLEASE can we see more (read that as all) his books available as ebooks for Kindle. Anyone that both thinks about the environment and who reads (especially in the case of reference books) is desperately trying; or should be, to save the planet and it would help if Amazon and Authors would assist by releasing all books in electronic format!

Great resource for the Yogi or aspiring YogiJun 20, 2009
By Caleb Milliken
This book offers some very nice perspective on some of the themes that you are sure to brush up against as you progress in your practice. From giving descriptions of the origins of terms, etc.. to tackling some current and past cultural/societal issues from a Yogic perspective. Very enlightening!
