THE PATH OF YOGA - GEORG FEUERSTEIN








RATING: B+

A very interesting book with an attitude similar to my own in regard to Yoga. It covers the history and various branches better than many other books that I have formerly read, giving details on each aspect of Ashtanga Yoga along with quoting several texts from ancient sources.

Chapter 12 talks of issues that were clarified for me, pursuant to a former connection evolving. Various formats of Samadhi are explained - something I have been interested in but confused by the various versions of. This book explains what I have and have not yet accomplished, clearly.

I would recommend the book to those interested in a guide to REAL yoga, rather than merely the keep fit style Western yoga. I would also suggest you read it if you are interested in the philosophy &/or history of yoga.
