Discover the traditional stories and wisdom behind your favourite
yoga poses in this stunningly illustrated book of Indian mythology
for yogis of all levels. A beautifully written introduction to
Indian mythology, join storyteller, scholar and teacher, Dr Raj
Balkaran, and explore the unforgettable tales behind 50 key yoga
poses, such as: Virabhadrasana II, the original warrior pose
Tadasana, mountain pose Bhujangasana, cobra pose Garudasana, eagle
pose Padmasana, lotus pose Virasana, hero pose Savasana, corpse
pose Meet iconic Gods and Goddesses, from Ganesa, the
elephant-headed god of wisdom, to Siva, Lord of Yogis, and Kali,
goddess of mind, body, soul and death. Explore the rivalry between
the sages Vasistha and Visvamitra, and their cosmic feud over a
wish-fulfilling cow. Plunge into the depths of one of the richest
myths in Hinduism: the battle between the demons and the gods who
churn the cosmic oceans in search for the elixir of immortality.
And learn how Siva got his blue throat! Learn, through the
mythology of the poses, more about the roots of this ancient
practice and how you can use their teachings to better appreciate
and respect yoga's true origins. Enhance your practice by reading
one story before or at the end of class, and incorporating the
poses and their teaching into your life, as well as your yoga
practice, and transform the way you view and practice this timeless
art.
