This is a comprehensive and in-depth guide to the complete yoga system. Guiding the reader through the classical astanga yoga system, Beryl Bender Birch provides a work out for body and soul: the yamas - exploring the fundamentals; the niyamas - doing the work; asana - practising the postures; pranayama - breathing mindfully; pratyahara - turning inward; dharana - developing concentration; dhyana - experiencing meditation; samadhi - living joyfully. Presented in a down-to-earth style, illustrated with easy-to-follow photographs, plus a special exercise chart of the astanga sequences, Beyond Power Yoga offers a journey through the deeper levels of spiritual practice.
