 <\/p>\n

The book\u00a0Astanga Yoga: Journey Back to Balance<\/i><\/em>\u00a0aims to serve\u00a0as our resting cushion from the toil we put in trying to balance ourselves in a world of constant change. Its suggestion\u00a0is to use the philosophy of the eightfold yoga (astanga yoga) of the ancient Indian sage Patanjali, as outlined\u00a0in his work\u00a0\u201c<\/i><\/em>Yoga Sutra<\/i><\/em>\u201d<\/i><\/em>\u00a0, not simply as a largely incomprehensible piece of knowledge that will remain unapplied, stacked on some shelf of the mind, but as a practical, daily guide of\u00a0balance governed by one basic principle: Balance is,\u00a0above all,\u00a0a journey back to the stability that naturally characterizes us, to the unshuttered\u00a0soul within us.<\/p>\n

The eight stations of this journey of knowledge are presented in the three chapters of the book. The importance of observing specific social and individual ethical rules (yamas-niyamas), the practice of\u00a0steady\u00a0posture (asana), the control of\u00a0vital energy (pranayama), the practice of the\u00a0withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara), concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana), and the complete absorption in the knowledge of\u00a0the truth about ourselves (samadhi) emerges through the acknowledgement of\u00a0our misconceptions in the first chapter, the principles of self-control, non-attachment, and rest in the second, as well as\u00a0the role of will, the virtue of prudence, and intuition in the third and final part of the book.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_id=”right” el_class=”bookinner-block”][vc_single_image image=”1822″ img_size=”full” el_id=”book_section”][vc_column_text]BUY THE BOOK<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1738758785506{background-color: #ECEDEE !important;}” el_id=”apospasma-new”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_id=”apospasm_tlt”]<\/p>\n
