For modern spiritual seekers and yoga students alike, here is an
irreverent yet profound guide to the most sophisticated teachings
of the yoga wisdom tradition-now brought to contemporary life by a
celebrated author, psychotherapist, and leading American yoga
instructor.
While many Westerners still think of yoga as an invigorating series
of postures and breathing exercises, these physical practices are
only part of a vast and ancient spiritual science. For more than
three millennia, yoga sages systematically explored the essential
questions of our human existence: What are the root causes of
suffering, and how can we achieve freedom and happiness? What would
it be like to function at the maximum potential of our minds,
bodies, and spirits? What is an optimal human life?
Nowhere have their discoveries been more brilliantly distilled than
in a short-but famously difficult-treatise called the Yogasutra.
This revered text lays out the entire path of inner development in
remarkable detail-ranging from practices that build character and
mental power to the highest reaches of spiritual realization.
Now Stephen Cope unlocks the teachings of the Yogasutra by showing
them at work in the lives of a group of friends and fellow yoga
students who are confronting the full modern catastrophe of
careers, relationships, and dysfunctional family dynamics.
Interweaving their daily dilemmas with insights from modern
psychology, neuroscience, religion, and philosophy, he shows the
astonishing relevance and practicality of this timeless psychology
of awakening.
Leavened with wit and passion, The Wisdom of Yoga is a superb
companion and guide for anyone seeking enhanced creativity, better
relationships, and a more ethical and graceful way of living in the
world.
