Interesting Yoga Books – BionicoldGuy

I have recently read two interesting books on yoga by Alexeer Shearer, expert translator of Sanskrit and yoga historian. The first is his translation and suspension of yoga Sutra in Batangali. This is often used as a justification for Hatha Yoga, which mostly developed in the West to what she calls “Yoga Body” with a focus on exercises and other physical exercises. There is a little focus on “Mind Yoga”, except for a short meditation directed at the end of the layers, usually while lying down.The corpse is formed“This does not mean that this type of class is not of value, I took a lot of them and found it very useful to relieve stress and stay on my age with our age. There is no significant mention of the type of ranges used in yoga categories in Hatha in the yoga Sutra.

Sutras is a series of short sayings that mainly adds to a meditation guide. Eight yoga ends are taught. The first two referred to moral behavior, a series of 5 “DOS” and 5 “Donss”. The third revolves around Asanas, the place where the confusion arises around Hatha Yoga. Asanas are situations or situations, and they are common in yoga chapters. But in Sutras, it is clear that what is talked about is the correct position of meditation, and it sits mainly with erection in the spine, in a position that can help comfortably for a long time, but does not lead to sleep. The fourth party BranayamaOr breathing exercises, which aim to calm us down to reflect on. The remaining eight parties are successive stages of meditation, starting with “the withdrawal of the senses”, then focus, meditation, and finally the broker or union with our true nature. This union is what yoga really refers to and is the goal of the entire endeavor.

In a second book Yoga storyShearrter together as much as possible the history of yoga to this day. It is clear in the development of yoga “mind” and “body” in the book. History tracking is difficult because it disappears again to the fog of time and the written records are often insufficient. But it still makes a great story. We are very lucky in the West because this great gift of permanent wisdom has migrated here from India.
