The Spirit of Yoga

Yoga is as old as civilisation and has been practised for thousands of years as a gentle, but powerful means of achieving strength, flexibility, stillness and balance in body and mind. Though it originated in the sub-continent of India thousands of years ago, it is as relevant and popular today as ever before, with more and more people turning to yoga as a way of dealing with the stresses and strains of modern living. The Spirit of Yoga is a beautiful, thorough and unique approach to yoga, perfect for beginners who want to know more, and inspiration for those who have already made it a part of their lives. It explains the difference between Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga and Kundalini Yoga, enabling the reader to make a considered choice between the various disciplines.
