by Valeria Bragante Aimar RollanChi non ha sentito parlare dello yoga? Molte persone praticano, o vogliono iniziare a praticare questa antica disciplina proveniente dall’India, però non sanno bene di cosa realmente si tratta né quali sono i suoi principi generali. In questa opera, amena e divertente, ti spieghiamo chiaramente tutto ciò che devi sapere per iniziare a praticare yoga, sia per un praticante abituale o uno che vuole iniziare questa pratica.

Ogni informazione pratica la potrai trovare nel blog di YOGA in CASA e nel canale YouTube dell’autore. Questa è un’opera informativa e divulgativa sullo yoga, da un punto de vista molto occidentale e aggiornato per la nostra epoca, tenendo conto delle nostre principali inquietudini.
Yoga
by Emmanuel CarrèreThis is a book about yoga. Or at least, it was.Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully—he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga.Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites—between self-destruction and self-control; sanity and madness; elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live. This is a book about one man’s desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are.

Yoga: The Indian Tradition
by Ian Whicher; David CarpenterThe popular perception of yoga in the West remains for the most part that of a physical fitness program, largely divorced from its historical and spiritual roots. The essays collected here provide a sense of the historical emergence of the classical system presented by Patañjali, a careful examination of the key elements, overall character and contemporary relevance of that system (as found in the Yoga Sutra) and a glimpse of some of the tradition's many important ramifications in later Indian religious history.
