The Deeper Dimension of Yoga

Here

is a comprehensive survey of the full breadth and depth of the 5,000-year-old

Yoga tradition, emphasizing its potent philosophy and spiritual vision. Georg

range of teachings, practices, and sacred texts that can help us cultivate

wisdom, balance, and inner freedom, as well as physical health.
