If you’re like millions of other people, you’ve found that
yoga is a wonderful way to improve your flexibility,
balance, muscle tone, and endurance. Hopefully you have
experienced the feelings of tranquility and vitality that
flow during a good yoga session and that stay with you
throughout the day. These benefits are excellent reasons to
practice yoga, yet they only hint at the extraordinary and
transformative power of this deeply spiritual practice. At
last, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga brings spirituality
back to the practice of yoga today.
The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word yuj, meaning
union, and as Deepak Chopra and David Simon explain in this
inspiring guide, yoga has the power to unite body, mind,
and spirit, bringing us into alignment with the magnificent
rhythms of the cosmos. Born in India and a central element
of Ayurveda, our most ancient healing wisdom tradition,
yoga is ever so much more than an exercise routine—it is a
complete science of balanced living and a path to higher
knowledge and joyful abundance. When adhered to and
practiced mindfully, the yoga principles and techniques
described in The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga can be the
keys to unlocking your full creative potential, your
capacity for love and compassion, and your ability to find
success in all areas of life.
Chopra and Simon begin by exploring the eight traditional
yoga branches. Only one of these branches, Asana,
corresponds to the physical poses that people ordinarily
associate with yoga. Drs. Chopra and Simon show how the
Seven Spiritual Laws, familiar to millions of readers of
the bestselling The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success—
PurePotentiality, Giving, Karma, Least Effort, Intention
and Desire, Detachment, and Dharma—play a crucial role in
yoga’s path to enlightenment. The authors then provide you
with the tools for integrating the Seven Spiritual Laws of
Yoga into your daily life, including meditation techniques,
mantras, breathing exercises, and carefully chosen,
delightfully illustrated yoga poses.
Whether you are a newcomer to yoga or an experienced
practitioner, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga is your
portal to yoga’s deeper spiritual dimension and a beautiful
step to a happier, more harmonious, and more abundant life.
