| Summary: | The wise woman's stone -- Preface: The wisdom of the yoga sutras for practice and liberation -- A foundation for transformation -- A journey through the sutras -- Part I: The yoga sutras: its wisdom and practices. Book I. Samadhi pada: union with the divine self ; Book II. Sadhana pada: cultivation of spiritual practice -- Part II: From devoted practice to higher consciousness. Book III. Vibhuti pada: the divine manifestation of power ; Book IV. Kaivalya pada: supreme liberation. The definitive feminine interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, now expanded to include all four padas. Yoga is best known for its power to create a healthy body, but the emotional and spiritual benefits of the practice are even greater. In The Secret Power of Yoga, Nischala Joy Devi offers a simple, elegant, and deeply personal interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras--the principles at the basis of Yoga practice. Hers is a heart-centered, intuitive, feminine perspective, and the first translation intended for women. Her interpretation beautifully captures the spirit of each sutra, and her suggested practices offer numerous ways to embrace the spirituality of Yoga throughout your day. The original edition summarized the final two padas with the intention of encouraging curiosity about further practice without overwhelming the reader. But today, there is more focus on the importance of understanding the foundation of yoga than ever. With so many making a commitment to the practice of Yoga to further their own spiritual growth and development, Devi believes now is the time to give more, and has provided additional commentary and practices, making The Secret Power of Yoga a complete scripture |
