Description
Ashtanga Yoga Practice and Philosophy by Gregor Maehle offers a comprehensive guide to the eight limbs of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This in-depth resource covers the history and lineage of yoga, as well as its fundamental principles, including breath, bandhas, drishti, and vinyasa. The book provides detailed instructions for the asanas of the Ashtanga Primary Series, accompanied by photographs, anatomical illustrations, and practical tips. It also explores the mythological background and yogic context of specific postures, adding depth to the practice. In addition, Maehle illuminates the Yoga Sutra using major ancient commentaries and his own insights. This volume makes the entire path of Ashtanga Yoga accessible to modern practitioners, serving as both a practical guide and spiritual treatise.
