Experience The 8 Limbs Of Yoga: Pathway To Liberation Crafted By Bhava Ram Provided As Text
overview of the eight limbs of yoga, great nuggets despite the brevity of the chapters, The author may come off a little strong for some but I loved his passion, The book makes you want to continue your studies which is a huge compliment, This book provided a really nice high level over of yoga and ayurvedic medicine, One of my favorite things about the book are the "practice" sections near the end of some chapters, giving a nice explanation of how you can begin integrating the eight limbs of yoga in to your life.
The writer conveys esoteric subject matter in a very accessible and clear way, A handy reference to keep on your shelf and revisit from time to time, Meh It's rare that I would read a book about the eight limbs of yoga written by a westerner usually preferring a writer from the source area but this popped out at me in and hand bookstore and I'm glad it did.
It simply explains the eight limbs of yoga from a westerners perspective with smack in the face honesty, A great book to read and reread if you can get hold of a copy Great study on the Eight Limbs! Bhava Ram explains in great deal what they mean and how they can be applied in our daily lives.
An excellent overview of yoga from a man whose practice literally saved his life, Read this book if you are a Yoga practitioner, interested in the deeper aspects of Yoga,
Don't read this book if you are new to Yoga, or want to keep Yoga as a purely physical pursuit,
This book covers the Ashtanga Yoga system Thelimbs of Yoga and the Yoga Sutrani of Patanjali from an entirely western perspective.
It is short, simple, and accessible, It is light on the Sanskrit, and very practical, The majority of books on these topics are written by Brahmin Indians, and are deeply steeped in their own cultural context, The author ignores many of these established interpretations and directly applies the ideas from the original Sutras to modern occidental life,
The best aspect of the book for me is that it does not dictate any strict philosophy or dogma, It merely widens your perspective to see the yogic view of what you are already experiencing,
For yoga teachers wanting a way to distill the deeper teachings of Yoga to digestible soundbytes for their students, this book is a good resource.
For busy individuals looking to apply the deeper dimensions of yoga to their life without having to trawl through and interpret the Bhagavad Gita or the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, this is a great toolkit.
For the Yoga devotee, who's practiced for a decade or more, this will help keep them grounded, and perhaps take their Yoga a little less seriously.
But for thehr 'qualified' yoga teacher shouting "open your heart centre", this won't help you pack out your classes more so you can afford that new iPhone.
For that Lululemon sporting socialite who uses Asana to sculpt her butt, this book will be dry and boring,
Take a second to decide what yoga is for you before you read this book,
Excellent book on yoga! I've been practicing and reading yoga texts foryears and this is by far the best book I've
read to date.
Lot's of information, but boring, Excellent book, describes the practice of yoga simply and effectively Bhava Ram applies the eight limbs to the challenging circumstances of our modern lives and shares how each of us can open our hearts and transform ourselves through this profound wisdom.
