About this title

From the Inside Flap:

IT WAS TWENTY YEARS ago when Swami Radha first introduced the transformational Hidden Language method to hatha yogis interested in going deeper with their practice. Now, with expanded instructions on how to incorporate the Hidden Language method into a personal practice, beautiful photographs by Derek Shapton and an introduction by ascent columnist, Swami Lalitananda, the 20th anniversary edition of Hidden Language Hatha Yoga is essential reading for the serious student of yoga."Swami Radha's sincere approach to Hatha Yoga, speaks of her devotion to the subject. She has re-lit the lamp of Hatha Yoga to flame so that its light enlightens one and all." -Geeta Iyengar, director of Ramani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute "Swami Radha's book has been on my bookshelf since it was first published. The language of yoga, as spoken by Swami Radha, speaks to my heart." -Amy Weintraub, author and yoga teacher "This book contains the insights of an extraordinary woman who dared to look deeper into the practice of asana to experience wholeness, which is the essence of yoga." -Sharon Gannon, co-founder of the Jivamukti Yoga method

About the Author:

Swami Sivananda Radha (1911 – 1995) is regarded as one of the most profound and practical spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. Born in Germany, Swami Radha moved to Canada after World War II, and traveled to India in the mid-50s to meet her spiritual teacher, Swami Sivananda. Initiated into sanyas in 1956, she then returned to Canada and spent the next forty years committed to teaching yoga and translating eastern wisdom for the West. Her knowledge of Hatha Yoga is based on direct teachings from her guru and the personal practice to which she dedicated herself. She was especially interested in exploring the deeper psychological and spiritual significance of Hatha Yoga asanas. Since Hatha Yoga: The Hidden Language was first published in the mid-eighties it has become a classic text for yoga teachers and students alike. Swami Radha is the author of over 10 books on yoga and the founder of the Yasodhara Ashram, timeless books, ascent magazine and a number of international Radha Yoga Centres. Her work continues in the devotional spirit in which it was created, maintaining the quality and integrity that were the essence of her life.
