The Inner Life of Asanas The Best of Hidden Language Hatha Yoga from Ascent Magazine

Guided by the principle that the mystical or spiritual messages of the asanas are available to everybody, and that working with a limited number of postures is a teaching unto itself, this book teaches 25 hatha yoga postures and offers thematically tailored reflections that inspire a sense of investigation into the Self. Each chapter contains columns that explain, by example, how yoga and spirituality can bridge the outer world and inner life.
