In his third book Gregor Maehle aims at bringing about a
renaissance of pranayama, the yogic school of breathing. For
millennia pranayama was considered to be the quintessential yogic
limb, yoga's main motor for spiritual evolution. To show
pranayama's importance Maehle supports his findings at every turn
with hundreds of quotations from yogic scripture. With
unprecedented detail the author shows how pranayama is used to
connect posture practice to yogic meditation and why it will
accelerate your progress in both. Also covered are: - how pranayama
creates health and its use in therapeutic application - mental and
spiritual benefits of pranayama - the function of prana and the
effects of pranayama - effect of pranayama on brain hemisphericity
and balance of the nervous system - purpose of breath retentions
and their precise technical application - in depth guidelines for
the practice of pranayama - illustrations of the major pranayama
and kriya techniques - the use of mantra and digital counting
during pranayama - the appropriate diet and postures for pranayama
- the importance and use of bandhas and kriyas before and during
pranayama - how to set free your breathing pattern through
exercising breath waves - descriptions of the classical pranayamas
such as Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, Surya Bhedana with never before
seen detail - how pranayama relates to raising Kundalini - a
workable order in which techniques are to be learned and put into
sequence with other yogic limbs - pranayama as it relates to the
stages of life Gregor Maehle is practising and researching all
aspects of yoga since 1982. He lived for several years in India
studying with a variety of yogic masters and sadhus. He has
previously published Ashtanga Yoga Practice and Philosophy and
Ashtanga Yoga The Intermediate Series, which have been translated
into several languages.
