Yoga Philosophy
http://www.melissawest.com Click on the link above for the show notes and links to the books below Today #39;s question comes to us from Jeff via e-mail and he asks about the philosophy behind the Yoga teachings. Still being very new to it all, I wonder if you may be able to help by advising some decent books I may read to help deepen my knowledge further. Here are my favourite yoga philosophy books: The Secret Power of Yoga by Nischala Joy Devi (a translation/discussion of the Yoga Sutras) Yoga, Power and Spirit by Alberto Vilodo ( a more poetic translation of the Yoga Sutras) Nicolai Bachman #39;s The Yoga Sutras (pricey but very good - gets into terminologies in a very deep way, I think you would like this one) Canada #39;s jewel in the lotus and amazing yoga philosopher is Michael Stone, he has several books. My favourite is still his first, The Inner Tradition of Yoga. Sally Kempton #39;s book Meditation for the Love of it - says it is about Meditation, but honestly the philosophy is all about yoga. I love Andrew Harvy and Karuna Erickson #39;s book Heart Yoga and Andrew Harvey #39;s book The Hope is amazing. Dr. David Frawley is an amazing Yoga Scholar. That should keep you going for a while. Also to let you know, I am going to be offering a continuing education course for yoga teachers in January of 2013 to explore yoga philosophy concepts of sankalpa, loving kindness, acceptance and acknowledgment in a 10 week intensive course ... you might be interested in that as well. :)From:LivingYourYogaTVViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:37More inPeople Blogs
