About this title

Synopsis

Much more than a system of physical exercise for health, Yoga is a complex and ancient path to spiritual growth, enshrined in the Vedas and the Upanishads. Only by truly understanding its origins, philosophy and practices can we fully explore the limitless spiritual terrain in can lead us into.
This unique book describes in detail the principles and spiritual origins of yoga, as well as the complex and comprehensive commitment each of us must make to practice it fully. It covers the various branches of yoga, its philosophical vision, and the practice of Yoga ethics, abstinence and observances.
Through the wisdom and insights offered in this book we come to understand that yoga, in its various forms, is the bridge that leads the soul that is inside us to the Soul Divine.
