In recent years, yoga has exploded in popularity - yet for many practitioners it remains just another exercise routine. This simplistic view however ignores the spiritual side of yoga, and its profound power to unite body, mind and spirit and bring about enlightenment. Now, in this new book, Deepak Chopra shows how everyone can explore yoga’s spiritual dimension - and integrate it into all the layers of their lives.
Yoga means 'union' in Sanskrit and this book begins by exploring the eight traditional yoga branches. The branches address such things as behaviour, attention, awareness, the senses and energy, and only one of these branches, asana, corresponds to the 'positions' or poses people typically associate with yoga. Chopra shows people how to understand the seven spiritual laws that govern nature – Pure Potentiality, Giving, Karma, Least Effort, Intention and Desire, Detachment, and Dharma - and how to integrate these laws into their daily lives using meditation, breathing, asana, and other yoga practises.
Complete with more than 50 photographs illustrating yoga poses, this new Chopra blockbuster is essential for anyone who wants to embrace yoga’s spiritual potential - and lead a happier, more abundant, more harmonious life.
