It is estimated that more than 20 million Americans have practiced some form of yoga, yet almost none of them have heard of yoga's early teachers or their insights. While we are familiar with yoga's physical benefits, the original purpose of yoga as a path to inner freedom and enlightenment is embodied by only a few students in the West. Now yoga scholar Georg Feuerstein immerses you in The Lost Teachings of Yoga, the first comprehensive audio curriculum about yoga's original spiritual wisdom and practices.

Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise and as a potent source of calm in the midst of our stress-filled lives. Far fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga as "the way of the fully alive human being" - a 4,000-year-old practical path of liberation that fits the needs of modern Western seekers with startling precision. Now Stephen Cope, a Western-trained psychotherapist who has lived and taught for more than 10 years at the largest yoga center in America, offers this marvelously lively and irreverent "pilgrim's progress" for today's world.

Although millions of Americans consider themselves relatively prosperous, many are trapped in a poverty that crosses all boundaries of gender, race, age, and income. This poverty has nothing to do with money, teaches Rick Jarow - and everything to do with why you are here in the world.

Scholars have learned a lot more about the history of yoga in recent years, but their research can be hard to track down. Although their work is insightful, it is aimed more at specialists than at a general audience. The Truth of Yoga draws on many of their findings, presented in a format designed for practitioners. The aim is to highlight ideas on which listeners can draw to keep traditions alive in the 21st century.

Le yoga change l'existence. Sa pratique permet de se connaître et, par l'ascèse qu'il exige, de changer en profondeur. Plus encore, le yoga renouvelle nos conceptions, communes et philosophiques, de l'existence. Il dispose à vivre mieux et à exister plus librement. C'est ce lien, entre philosophie et pratique corporelle libératrice, qu'explore l'auteure. Dans cet ouvrage, à la fois court et sans détour, Elsa Ballanfat nous propose un chemin en quatre étapes : prendre conscience du mal que nous nous faisons, initier un changement, s'ouvrir à l'autre pour mieux le comprendre.
