Download or read book Light on Life written by B.K.S. Iyengar and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters--has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.

Download or read book Two as One written by Christie McNally and published by Diamond Cutter Press. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two As One - A Journey to Yoga Through decades of study, training, and deep meditation, McNally and Thorson have mastered the practice of Partner Yoga. Two as One: A Journey to Yoga integrates philosophy and yoga techniques from many time-honored disciplines to create a synergistic experience for two Yoga partners working together. Two As One is a revolutionary concept which gives each partner the power to support and be supported; to open and be opened. This gift from the masters offers an ingenious tool for aspiring yogis and spiritual seekers alike, to move farther and faster on the path than they ever possibly could alone - and perhaps enjoy the practice more than ever before! The poetry of bodies captured in the book was photographed by world-renowned New York City Photographer Connie Hansen of Guzman Photography. It was she and stylist Gabriele Vignorelli who launched the original ad campaign that made Gap a household name. They work again together here, to capture another unique and timeless style. The Two As One partner-yoga practice reveals the essence of ancient secret practices for radical transformation, through an exquisite and simple presentation. As Lama Christie describes, "When you work together in a hands-on, visceral way, you tap into the power of the inner body. It forms a resonance between the two people that is more powerful than anything the individual by themselves can call up. This is a revolutionary concept on how to travel the spiritual path". All proceeds from the book will be donated to support more than 50 people entering into a historic three-year retreat at Diamond Mountain University in southeastern Arizona. DMU teaches Tibetan Buddhism through advanced philosophy, yoga, debate, and many other methods that enable individuals to help others.

Book excerpt: From a rebellious young woman with a dangerous heroin habit to a globe-trotting fashion model to “First Lady of Yoga” (The New York Times), Colleen Saidman Yee tells the remarkable story of how she found herself through the healing power of yoga—and then inspired others to do the same. I’ve learned how to extract the beauty of an ordinary day. I’ve learned that the best high exists in the joy—or the sadness—of the present moment. Yoga allows me to surf the ripples and sit with the mud, while catching glimpses of the clarity of my home at the bottom of the lake: my true self. The very first time Saidman Yee took a yoga class, she left feeling inexplicably different—something inside had shifted. She felt alive—so alive that yoga became the center of her life, helping her come to terms with her insecurities and find her true identity and voice. From learning to cope with a frightening seizure disorder to navigating marriages and divorces to becoming a mother, finding the right life partner, and grieving a beloved parent, Saidman Yee has been through it all—and has found that yoga holds the answers to life’s greatest challenges. Approachable, sympathetic, funny, and candid, Saidman Yee shares personal anecdotes along with her compassionate insights and practical instructions for applying yoga to everyday issues and anxieties. Specific yoga sequences accompany each chapter and address everything from hormonal mood swings to detoxing, depression, stress, and increased confidence and energy. Step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate her signature flow of poses so you can follow them effortlessly. Yoga for Life offers techniques to bring awareness to every part of your physical and spiritual being, allowing you to feel truly alive and to embody the peace of the present moment.

Download or read book Tantra Yoga written by Mary McLaughlin M.A. and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part inspirational memoir, part philosophical teaching, part practical application, this book is an accessible, actionable guide to the true Tantra -- not the sex-focused version that popular culture promotes. Todd Norian, founder of Ashaya Yoga and international spiritual teacher, brings to life Nondual Shaiva-Shakta Tantra, the revolutionary philosophy that has been misunderstood and largely hidden? until now. Often relegated to the realm of theological history and academia, Nondual Shaiva-Shakta Tantra is an ancient, powerful path of heart-centric learning, and Todd is the perfect guide to that path. Since his first encounter with it more than 25 years ago, he has sought to understand, teach, and apply its lessons, creating an entirely new Tantra-based yoga method along the way.Now, writing with gentle, compassionate authority, he shares the life-changing philosophy that taught him how to embrace all of it -- the pain, disillusionment, and suffering -- as the gift it was always meant to be. By setting down on paper his remarkable journey, woven together with Tantric teachings, Todd gives seekers the tools that have changed his life forever for the better - not by lecturing in a scholarly way, but by bringing Tantra to life with humor and day-to-day relevance. Who are those "seekers"? There are 36 million active yogis in America. That number grew by 50% in four years? and it's still growing. They practice yoga to get more flexible, to heal an aching back, to reduce stress. Yet in time, many of these practitioners want more. They want to go deeper. Yes, yoga makes me feel better, but what lies underneath? How can I be happy? How can I live a meaningful life? Relatable, funny, candid, Todd has written this book for those individuals, the ones who are looking for a heart-centered path to life fulfillment. It will inspire readers to access their own hearts, leading them from the unknown to the known, from darkness to light, and from fear to love as they walk their own paths of hope, happiness, and true transformation.

Book 6 of the Creative Mermaids Live Your Creative & Vibrant Life Series is an intimate 30 day yoga journey that beckons you to start one of your own. Part journal prompts for healing and part personal essay on how yoga helped Sherrie heal, My Yoga Journal is a place for you to dive deeper into your yoga practice while simultaneously reading along with Sherrie's healing process. In 2017 Sherrie found herself in a world she no longer recognized. The mother of two small children, she was about to end her 13-year relationship with their father and suddenly had to refer to her youngest brother in the past tense. She was also months away from setting sail on her family's sailboat for a world trip, and that was suddenly no more a certainty either. Yoga, which previously had been something she had only dabbled in, became her bridge to her return to self. A place where she could move through what she described as her "vibrating pain." Through the moving meditations that Yoga gave her, Sherrie began to see how she had fallen completely out of alignment with everything she wanted from her life. And as she added journalling and essential oils to the practice she found a soul therapy that helped her peel away the expectations she had taken upon herself as a new mother and instead to find the woman she still was inside. One who was willing to meet motherhood as a woman rather than a martyr and to bring creativity back into her life even if happiness felt like a betrayal after the loss of her brother. If you find yourself wanting to deepen your yoga practice or being called to use yoga as part of your healing from the the grief process but are unsure where to begin, get your copy today.
