Book Description
Truth is not something we have to seek out. It is not something that is absent and far away, requiring great effort to find. Truth is present within you as the Life that is you. In Yoga of Heart, Los Angeles-based yoga instructor Mark Whitwell takes us back to the time when yoga was first developed--to the shamanic past of the Upanishads, when yoga was practiced as a means of acknowledging, enjoying, and participating in the very source of Life. Whitwell explores the deeper tantric dimensions of hatha yoga--how yoga's purpose is to link the mind to the wonder of our own condition. He shows how hatha yoga is participation in life's polarities already in union--through the male surrender to the female principle. Yoga of Heart shows how we can forge that union of polarities within our body: above and below, front and back, left and right, male and female. Yoga of Heart focuses especially on clearing the energy centers and meridians, fostering dynamic health and allowing practitioners to create a deeper intimacy with both their partners and the energetic life forces in the universe.

Book Description
Tori has done a lot of f*cked up things in the pursuit of being a "good" yoga teacher. She didn't mean to be f*cked up; f*cked up things just happened while she was busy attempting to be a personable sage and humble expert on philosophy, mediation, anatomy, functional movement, energy healing, and everything else a yoga teacher is supposed to be good at. It never occurred to her that how she was going about teaching all this expertise might be, well, f*cked up, or potentially even harmful to herself and others. It's a common misstep for yoga teachers: we get so focused on learning everything there is to know about yoga that we overlook the importance of learning how to skillfully teach these things to people. Despite our best of intentions and, usually without realizing it, we fall into common traps like manipulation, elitism, imposter syndrome, and bewilderment when it comes to applying any sort of personal and professional boundaries to what we do. This is a book about how we all mess up and how we can all do better. No Shame. No right or wrong answers. No arbitrary life advice. Through a mix of personal stories, guided reflections, and best practices taken from her experience as a social worker, Tori offers up an easy-to-follow guide for any teacher wanting to show up more reliably for themselves and those whom they teach.

Book Description
This book by Dr. Desmarais is by all means a positive contribution in the field of Yoga, Indology and cognitive neurosciences. It covers Eastern and Western, ancient and modern, religion and metaphysics, psychology and epistemology, as well as the cultural heritage for these. The book is arranged in six chapters using our common concept of show as a metaphysical stage: getting ready for the show; entering the theatre; taking the stage; all the world as stage; following the plot; thickening of the plot; and finally, the lights come up. This has its source in the Samkhya metaphor of prakrti as analogous to a divine actor, on the world stage and in a cosmic drama. Another symbolic metaphor that comes before our mind is that of Ardhanarinatesvara of Lord Siva, depicted as the Cosmic divine Supreme actor endowed with half-female in his person. The reader, the spectator or audience member, symbolizes the Purusa of Samkhya and yoga. CONTENTS Acknowledgements, Foreword, Abbreviations, Introductions: Getting Ready for the Show, 1. Entering the Theatre 2. Taking the Stage 3. All the World's a Stage 4. Following the Plot 5. The Plot Thickens 6. Lights Up, References, Index

Book Description
Introduction There is a plethora of meditation, yoga, health, nutrition, and cookbooks on the market. Many of them address a specific diet or dogma, in which they treat the person as if we all have the exact same body and mind. One can argue that in essence we are all the same, but on a functioning level, we sure are different. This book describes a holistic system to accomplish a yogic lifestyle within the modern world. Traditional concepts of yoga are explained in clear, contemporary terminology. You will find Sanskrit names with English translations. The book offers a toolbox of the most efficient practices that may fit into today’s lifestyle, mining tradition to create powerful contemporary practices. Kept simple, the book provides foundations without an overwhelming amount of unnecessary detail, and provides essentials that can be utilized right away in life. The Yoga Lifestyle introduces the concept of the flexitarian. If you’ve heard the term, it’s probably with respect to the flexitarian diet, which most people define as a diet that is mostly vegetarian or vegan but does include some fish, poultry, and meat on occasion. The book looks at the flexitarian diet and expands upon those principles to create an entire flexitarian lifestyle. The Yoga Lifestyle aims to create the best life possible, without the stress. It seeks the healthiest life options for each individual, according to his or her needs. Is This Book for You? Have you ever wanted to: • • Understand yoga and learn how to build your own practice? • • Know your body type and balance your life? • • Live in sustainable health and happiness? • • Be empowered with practical and efficient tools for a healthy lifestyle? • • Develop a steady and focused mind? • • Become stronger and toned, without lifting weights? • • Become flexible, without being a ballerina? The Yoga Lifestyle is great for anyone willing to take responsibility for his or her own life. It is based on the research of many yoga traditions (mostly from the ashtanga vinyasa tradition), mind and meditation practices (mostly Buddhist and Gestalt), as well as most health diets, both modern and traditional (Ayurveda, blood type, macrobiotic, raw food). It takes the best from each dogma and presents a system that each person can adapt to meet his or her individual needs.
