An audio book that will help you understand the true essence of yoga, rethink your life and aspirations, and learn to look for clues in the people and situations around you.
Michael Roach is a Buddhist monk, a teacher of the Buddha’s Teaching, and the first American to receive the title “geshe,” i.e., a doctor of Buddhist philosophy. With no experience, money, or connections, relying only on Buddhist knowledge about how the world is structured, he founded one of the most successful companies in New York.
An engaging parable about yoga and our worldview—the ideology of self-improvement of the spirit through the body. Because yoga is not simply a complex of exercises, but above all a philosophy and a way of life passed down for centuries as part of yoga practice.
The main heroine is a young girl who finds dangerous adventures in the northern regions of medieval India. Events that threaten her life become the most astonishing school of yoga and the philosophy of the spirit—for the girl herself and for her persecutors. The advice and practices our heroes use come from the ancient book about yoga—“Yoga Sutras” by the guru Patanjali. And although it was written more than two thousand years ago in India, it hasn’t lost its relevance to this day.
“I advise you, wherever you live and wherever you practice yoga, to try to study and embody these ideas during your classes. They will help make your body young and strong, and your heart open and happy.”
