With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic
imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy
of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle
body.
"Yoga of the Subtle Body" unites practical somatic concepts and
wisdom teachings in this guide to the anatomy of the physical,
mental, emotional, and subtle bodies. Tias Little is a master
teacher, and he brings his precise instruction to the wisdom
teachings and philosophy of hatha yoga. He offers us a guided tour
of the body's structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new
structural awareness as grounds for exploring the subtle body. In a
meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between
the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic
imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. We come to
see how the (yoga) body cannot be seen apart from the
psycho-spiritual forces that animate it. Further, Tias offers
readers clear, illuminated instruction for yoga, pranayama, and
meditation techniques that apply these body-mind principles. This
book is essential reading for all serious students and teachers of
yoga.
Each chapter focuses on one of the eight key energetic/anatomy
centers of the body: feet/base, pelvis, sacrum, belly, diaphragm,
heart/lungs, throat, and crown. The book is organized literally
from the ground up, and figuratively from physically basic to
conceptual/subtle. Each chapter has a list of poses for activating
and applying the lessons, guided meditations, and excerpts from
yogic texts. These practical exercises allow readers to immediately
integrate the chapter's lessons into their practice.
