The Wisdom of Yoga A Seeker's Guide to Extraordinary Living

While many Westerners think of yoga as an invigorating series of postures and breathing exercises, these physical practices are only part of a vast and ancient spiritual science recorded in a text called the Yoga-Sutra. For more than three millennia, yogis have systematically explored this path of inner development- discovering precise techniques for functioning at the maximum potential of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Using dramatic personal stories of fellow seekers, as well as insights from modern psychology, neuroscience, religion, and philosophy, Stephen Cope demonstrates how we can apply this timeless science of awakening to radically enlighten every aspect of our daily lives.
