The Soul Dimension of Yoga

Description

Most of us look at a book with the question, ‘What’s in it for me?’ Rarely do we ask, ‘What qualities lie waiting to be developed, so that I can fulfil my potential?’ Out of an authentic experience of the dimension of the soul, Heinz Grill describes principles and qualities that have a deep, universal truth, and shows readers how they can develop these qualities themselves with the help of yoga practice. Using a large number of artistic photographs and poetic imagery, The Soul Dimension of Yoga describes almost forty different yoga poses in their inner essence or soul-meaning along with detailed instructions for their practice. Each pose is assigned to one of the seven so-called chakras or ‘soul regions’. The Soul Dimension of Yoga is a practical handbook for yoga, but it also holds a living, transformative substance for spiritual development. Dedicated study of the concepts presented here, and conscious practice of the exercises, fosters in readers a new depth of soul, a substance in the personality, and with time they come to radiate a silent wisdom and strength towards others. This book is the central text used for the yoga teacher training programme offered here at Yoga in Somerset.
