Description

Whilst there’s no denying yoga’s popularity as a form of physical exercise, the other life-enhancing aspects of this tradition remain obscure to many Westerners. In Yoga for Transformation, Gary Kraftsow introduces techniques that treat not only the physical body but also the emotions, mind, heart, and soul of the practitioner-the places where real transformation can take place. There are breathing techniques to keep watch over energy levels, exercises to train and sharpen the intellect, and meditative practices to help increase self-awareness. With more than 350 black and white photographs all through, this unique and accessible book is dedicated to strengthening the whole self-body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga has millions of devotees in the Western world, but most up to date yoga students center their practice on postures but not on the ancient teachings that are still relevant today. In Yoga for Transformation, writer Gary Kraftsow leads the modern yoga student in combining posture practice with the rich and deep tradition of mind, heart, and spirit. He presents core postures (asanas), clearly illustrated by models of every age, and describes how to incorporate breathing, chanting, meditation, prayer, and ritual to add a spiritual dimension to your practice.

“The purpose of these practices is to serve you in deepening your self-understanding, and to assist you in the process of self-transformation,” writes Kraftsow, founder of the American Viniyoga institute and writer of Yoga for Wellness: Healing with the Timeless Teachings of Viniyoga. Viniyoga is a methodology for developing a personal yoga practice the usage of asana, pranayama (breathing), meditation, ritual, and prayer. This multifaceted book is advisable for the serious yoga student who wants to explore new dimensions of yoga; it isn’t for the beginner or dabbler. –Joan Price
