In "Shadow Yoga, Chaya Yoga, "author Shandor Remete shows how to
utilize yoga to enhance all aspects of physical and spiritual
health. Focusing specifically on the hatha tradition, the book
delves deep into original Sanskrit texts, explaining the
theoretical foundation of yoga in clear, encouraging language.
Remete describes the "shadows" noted by classical yoga teachers
that block the student, and shows ways to move beyond them. The
book covers the key concepts of traditional yoga--the "marmas,
"chakras, "vayus "(sources of energy), and "nadis "(flows of energy
through the body)--before turning to the yogic techniques that
improve their condition and functioning--asana (poses), "nauli
"(abdominal exercises), pranayama (breathing), mudra (gestures),
and "laya" (absorptions). It closes with illustrated sequences of
the most important asanas. "Shadow Yoga "also discusses various
little-understood, oft-neglected aspects of yogic training, such as
the role of "marma "points (acupuncture-like energy points) and the
influence of the zodiac. Detailed drawings of the body's energy
system and its links to these elemental and planetary forces
provide a visual guide to these largely unknown areas of yoga. This
knowledge, considered essential in Indian yogic traditions, has
been almost entirely lost in modern Western schools of yoga. Author
Remete restores that information in this beautifully designed
book.
