About this book
Yoga and the Body: The Future of Modern Yoga in the Studio and Beyond imagines the prospects for physical yoga practice. The authors, writing as advanced practitioners and teachers, share their enthusiasm for yoga and lay out the ways its physical practices can evolve and make an impact upon our understanding of consciousness.
The chapters examine techniques, trends, and beliefs about contemporary practices and then speculate about where these could lead. Topics include the central importance of the body in spiritual experience, the role of emotions and imagination in consciousness, the insights gained through aesthetic philosophy about the nature of reality, and yogic techniques used for exploring the mind, body, and spirit.
This book is for anyone who has ever taken a yoga class and wondered if they are missing something. It is a thoughtful and entertaining guide to embodied exploration for those who are genuinely curious about modern yoga and its future.
