Yoga is practised by thousands of people all over the world. For some us it as a form of release, relaxation and exercise. Others use it to calm and focus the mind in order to achieve their goals. And yet others use it as a guide on their spiritual path. With so many different styles of yoga guided by different 'gurus', it is easy to become confused, and we tend to associate the practice of Yoga with a specific style of Yoga. In doing this, we end up following a guru's way rather than our own way. We must learn to forge our own path using Yoga as a map to guide and direct us.
Yoga is a very practical path by nature and the aspirant is not forced to believe in anything, only to examine his or her own situation, starting with the current state of body and mind, and then delving deeper and deeper until the True Self is revealed.
The Universal Guide to Yoga covers all aspects of Yoga, both physical and spiritual, and includes basic and advanced techniques to help you:
- become flexible and increase your strength and balance
- improve your posture
- increase circulation
- detoxify the body and mind
- reduce stress and fatigue
- increase energy levels
- slow down the aging process
- achieve optimum health
- create a sense of inner peace and contentment
- meditate and breathe to still the fluctuations of the mind
- learn to experience the True Self.
Raja Yoga is the path of practical application in stilling the mind, as set out by Patanjali and codified in the Yoga Sutras. In this book you will be exposed to a universal style of Yoga, one that captures and embraces all of the aspects of the Yoga system, through integration and oneness.
