Product Description

Product Description
In this book, professional photographer and yoga teacher Cat De Rham brings her own personal vision to the yoga sutras in words and pictures. Written over 2000 years ago, the yoga sutras are a step-by-step guide to the attainment of true liberation. There are eight stages or limbs of this quest: the eight limbs of yoga. The book is structured around the eight limbs identified in the yoga sutras of Patanjali as follows: Yama - the practice of universal ethical disciplines; Niyama - the practice of individual disciplines; Asana - the practice of postures or body exercises to develop agility, balance, strength and vitality; Pranayama - the practice of regulating the breath; Pratyahara - the practice of mastering the senses; Dharana - the practice of focusing the mind; Dhyana - meditation; and Samadhi - union with the Supreme Being.

About the Author
Cat de Rham is a professional photographer and yoga teacher living in London. She was born in Malaysia & grew up living on a sailboat in South East Asia. It was in the process of reconciling the idyllic & natural environment of her childhood with the realities of urban life that Cat developed a deep interest in ancient healing arts & spiritual practices. Michele Gill has a longstanding personal interest in spiritual practices and spent five years working with a team of researchers investigating the effects of complementary therapy on the quality of life and health of people living with serious illnesses. She currently lives in London where she runs a portfolio career working as a mediator, facilitator & trainer in the area of conflict management & resolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book ..., 6 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I stumbled across this book in the local book shop. Firstly, the overall presentation is beautiful. The photos are awesome. Secondly, I particularly liked the fact that this wasn't another book on asanas. It addresses the issue of yoga, & is a book you can dip into time & time again. It's simple, yet reflective. Well worth getting & certainly worth recommending to others interested in appreciating what yoga is about, & has to offer.
