Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore
'An indispensable companion for all interested in yoga, both scholars and practitioners' Professor Alexis G. J. S. SandersonDespite yoga's huge global popularity, relatively little of its roots is known among practitioners. This compendium includes a wide range of texts from different schools of yoga, languages and eras: among others, key passages from the early Upanisads and the Mahabharata, and from the Tantric, Buddhist and Jaina traditions, with many pieces in scholarly translation for the first time. Covering yoga's varying definitions, its most important practices, such as posture, breath control, sensory withdrawal and meditation, as well as models of the esoteric and physical bodies, Roots of Yoga is a unique and essential source of knowledge.Translated and Edited with an Introduction by James Mallinson and Mark Singleton.
