Riassunto

Shakespeare’s Yoga applies some of the Bard’s most famous quotes and passages to yoga practice. With insights from her involvement in Shakespearean theater and 20 years as a yoga practitioner, studio owner, and yoga teacher trainer, Claire Szabo-Cassella parallels Shakespeare’s inherent spiritual wisdom to the Yamas, the five core yogic concepts in the art of right living.

Like Hamlet, asking ourselves the big questions comes naturally when given the inspiration, time, and space to do so. These same enquiries arise during our yoga practice: Who is breathing me? Where does the energy moving my body come from? Where do the images in my mind come from and go to? Shakespeare’s insights radically raise our consciousness and our ability to heal ourselves.

Perfect for anyone wanting deeper self-growth with yogic insights from the literary master on the human condition. Yoga students, plus Shakespearean actors, theatergoers, and instructors find renewal and fresh ideas.

Shakespeare’s yogic teachings change your life. What we do once the stage clears and we roll up our mats can transform what would be merely a physical and mental exercise” into a catalyst for change.Shakespeare’s Yoga is a companion for the journey.

Recensione:

Shakespeare's Yoga gives the reader a new way of looking at the plays of Shakespeare, which is quite an accomplishment on the 400th anniversary of his legacy! This book represents a truly unique blend of the bard and yogic wisdom. It will be of great interest to lovers of Shakespeare and devotees of yoga. Laura Bates, author of Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard

Classical actors talk about "riding the verse," meaning letting Shakespeare's words and one's breath work us, rather than we work them. What Szabo-Cassella does so trailblazing is bridge Shakespeare and yoga; a bridge that, when traversed, allows one to move freely between two of the world's great traditions. Barret O'Brien, Acting Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, author, Greater Wilder

A beautiful narrative of faith, timelessness, and the depth of living. Two great forces of spirituality, Shakespeare and Patanjali, are united in opening a new dialog to living with our complex, kindest, truest version of ourselves. Will Duprey, author of Form: A Poetic Experience of the Hatha Yoga Pardipika

Whether you have yet to experience yoga or Shakespeare or are an expert in either or both Shakespeare's Yoga takes you into a profound and valuable exploration of life’s big questions. Claire Szabo-Cassella has pulled together yogic philosophy, excerpts from Shakespeares’s work, and an array of quotations and inspiration from those invested on the path of yoga as well as those immersed in the world of Shakespeare to create a life-affirming companion to your journey on and off the mat. -Heidi E. Spear, MA, author, Kripalu yoga teacher, meditation coach, and a creator of the workshop The Yoga of Shakespeare
