Yoga: Tradition & Practice

In Yoga: A Guide to the Teachings and Practices, acclaimed spiritual expert David Frawley introduces the reader to the deeper philosophy and greater meaning to be found within yoga.

Lord Shiva is the personification of all the main practices of Yoga, as the origin and ruling power over asana, prana, mantra, inner seeing and meditation. He is the ultimate Yoga guru reflecting the highest Self-awareness. Yet this centrality of Shiva in Yoga is rarely understood and utilized.

Going back to the vision of the Vedic Seers, David Frawley reveals the secret of Soma for body, mind and spirit, with its implications from diet and herbs to pranayama, mantra and meditation.

This is the first book that details how to choose Yoga asanas most appropriate for your unique body type according to the five thousand year old system of Ayurvedic medicine.
