Emotional Yoga

This book recommends consistent application of several aspects of the yoga lifestyle to bring about emotional empowerment and self-discovery. Author, yoga instructor, and mind/body expert Bija Bennett provides simple instructions and techniques that include breathing (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), rituals (viniyoga), directing the senses (pratyahara), emotional inquiry (dharana), and yoga exercises (asana) to experience well-documented psychological advantages, heal the mind and emotions, and achieve overall good health. In the tradition of viniyoga, which takes the ancient techniques and adapts them to suit the individual's specific needs, this highly practical book is accessible to all levels and personalities. Artful and sleek B&W photos by Lois Greenfield accompany the text. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
