Discover the joy and freedom of a life lived immersed in the "here and now." Based on ancient Vedic wisdom, these essential teachings of yoga offer powerful insights that can quickly elevate your life to new heights of happiness, inner peace, and fulfillment. While unfolding the thirty verses of Ramana Maharshi's brilliant masterpiece Upadesha Saram, this modern-day translation & commentary is unparalleled in its capacity to clarify the soul's journey to Self-Realization. The author lucidly explains that only by regaining awareness of Being, liberating oneself from subconscious conditioning and living intensely in the Now, can enlightenment occur. The framework of the soul's journey that is presented is awe-inspiring, and as you walk this profound path you will learn how to connect to the indestructible essence of your Being and discover that "the state of Self-Realization is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are."

Buddhi-Yoga and System Ouspensky by J. K. Goodwin Pdf

This treatise is meant to assist intelligent occultists, seekers who often find themselves without recourse to any esoteric literature except those with an exclusionist outlook dedicated to specific cults requiring immediate surrender. If it is to be helpful in the true sense of the term, occult literature must present methods and processes for evolutionary advancement in esotericism. However, it is difficult to purchase one that represents, in a non-sectarian way, the Vedic teachings, a commentary on the process to create occult power, and a comparative study related to the highest discipline. This one-of-a-kind book accomplishes all of those objectives and much more.

Teaching Yoga with Intention by Judith Hanson Lasater Pdf

The definitive guide to effective and appropriate communication through words and touch between yoga teachers and their students. Clear, effective verbal communication and judicious touch are two skills that Judith Hanson Lasater feels are essential for every yoga teacher. In Teaching Yoga with Intention, she gives pointed advice on how to interact verbally with students in class and how to appropriately use touch to make corrections. Drawing from her fifty years of yoga experience and her training in Nonviolent Communication, Lasater trains yoga teachers to effectively communicate not only technique, but also the more subtle lessons of respect, empathy, and compassion. She also shines an unflinching light on the use of touch in yoga. Teachers often use touch to create understanding and awareness in the poses. But this is a subtle art, and Lasater gives clear guidance on how, where, and when the use of touch can be used appropriately to further a student's development. In this book, Lasater also empowers students by encouraging them to take ownership of and responsibility for their practice. She covers myriad topics that can be difficult for students at any level to navigate, such as how and when to say "no" to an adjustment; keeping boundaries; when to leave a class; helping your teacher understand your needs; how to communicate your appreciation to your yoga teacher; and if and when to report a teacher's behavior. The skills that Lasater offers help create a safe environment for students to "own" their learning process, and to progress technically at their own speed.

The Yoga Sutras by Nicholas Sutton Pdf

This short course sets out a detailed study of the text, philosophy, and significance of the millennia-old yoga system defined in the Yogasutras. The popular practice of yoga finds its origin in one of the most venerated wisdom books of India: the Yogasutras. Comprised of 196 short statements on the essential teachings of yoga, Patanjali’s Yogasutras holds the position of being the seminal work that defines the yoga system. Over the centuries many important commentaries have been written that seek to explain and extrapolate the full meaning of the sutras, and to this day, the text continues to be appreciated for the profound wisdom contained within it. While the Yogasutras were originally written in Sanskrit, this short course offers an accessible translation and commentary without sacrificing any of its profound wisdom. This edition will allow the reader to study and dive into the meaning and philosophy of this ancient text with its significant contemporary relevance. Yoga students, practitioners, and scholars alike will appreciate the way in which this short course guides the reader through the text.

Health, Healing and Beyond by T. K. V. Desikachar,Richard H. Cravens Pdf

"My father's teaching... was based on the truth that each student must be taught according to his or her individual capacity at any given time.

Teaching Contemporary Yoga by Edward Clark,Laurie A. Greene Pdf

Teaching Contemporary Yoga provides a novel look at how modern yoga is understood, practiced, and taught globally. Utilising perspectives from several academic disciplines, the authors offer an analysis of the current state of modern yoga and the possibilities for future experimentation and innovation. The authors draw on anthropological, performance, and embodiment theories to understand yoga practice as a potentially powerful ritual of transformation as well as a cultural product steeped in the process of meaning making. They craft a unique analysis that contrasts asana with the largely unexamined philosophy underlying the practice of vinyasa, while imagining a vibrant future for the evolution of yoga through excellence in teaching. Unlike other writings about yoga, the authors offer a critique of the current practice of yoga as both diminished and utilitarian, while providing a path to reinvigorating the discipline based on current scientific knowledge and methods for teaching and practice. Along with these theoretical perspectives and the analysis of contemporary yoga in the West, the authors offer practical applications to address the challenges of teaching yoga in a society where individualism and materialism are core values. Open-ended exercises in reflection and experimentation offer opportunities for readers to apply what they have learned to their teaching and personal practice. This is a vital guide for any yoga-oriented scholar, teacher, or practitioner and is an essential companion for contemporary teacher training.
