Book summary

LIVING YOGA is an in-depth and admirably comprehensive guide to the yogic lifestyle, aimed at people for whom yoga is not just a passing fad but an enduring choice. Written like a textbook, it comprises short articles and essays--some original, some previously published in Yoga Journal magazine--about every conceivable aspect of yoga: diet, postures, meditation, selfless service, and more. After a thorough introduction, written by one of yoga's most knowledgeable scholars, Georg Feuerstein, the book proceeds to discuss five major yogic paths: hatha (the physical aspects of yoga), bhakti (the transformative power of love), jnana (wisdom), karma (service) and tantra (ritual). That the articles express so many divergent points of view and yet work together so cohesively is the book's main strength.
