“This invaluable book introduces the reading public to the full
scope of the practice of genuine hatha yoga. Full of hints that
veteran practitioners can follow to revolutionize their practices,
it should be read by every serious student of yoga.”
—Dr. Robert Svoboda, author of Ayurveda: Life, Health, and
Longevity and Light on Life: An Introduction to the
Astrology of India
内容简介
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.
