Description
Translated from the English Original, “The Viniyoa of Yoga” by T. K. V. Desikachar with Kausthub Desikachar and Frans Moors.
The fact that yoga has found increased acceptance today can be seen through the number of people practicing this discipline all over the world. Outside India, where it originated first, there are close to a hundred million people, for whom some form of yoga is part of their life.
What has made this possible is the openness and the universality of its teachings, that makes yoga so appealing and relevant to all kinds of people. There are no prerequisite conditions to begin yoga practice. There is something in it for everyone.
Yoga accepts the concept of Viniyoga, which has been exemplified in all the schools of philosophy that originated in India. The term simply means to apply the tools in hand appropriately to the given context and situation.
The Viniyoga of Yoga is the ability to utilize the tools of yoga to suit different needs. This book deals with two of the most popular tools of yoga-Asana and Pranayama, and their application based on varying requirements.
This book of over 1000 pictures includes?
The techniques of the most important asanas and pranayama presented in simple steps.
The modifications that are possible and the contexts where these will be useful.
The importance and principles of planning asana and pranayama practices.
Examples where these have been applied to real life situations.
