With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic
imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy of
the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle body.
If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is
about much more than just the body - the practice of yoga in fact
reveals that the body is in no way separate from the pyschospiritual
forces that animate it. Tias Little here provides a way to understand
these forces as they relate to an integrated yoga of body, mind, and
spirit. He unites somatic concepts and wisdom teachings in this
practical guide to the anatomy of the physical, mental, emotional, and
subtle (or energetic) body.
Little is a master teacher who offers us a guided tour of the body's
structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new structural awareness
as the basis for exploring the subtle body. In a meaningful and
pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between the body and the
rich symbolism that pervades the yogic imagination, including the
chakras, nadis, and koshas. Further, Little offers listeners clear,
insightful yoga, pranayama, and meditation exercises that apply these
body-mind principles.
