This text introduces yoga techniques that move beyond the physical body. There are breathing techniques to control energy levels, exercises to train and sharpen the intellect and meditative practices to help increase self-awareness.

While there is no denying yoga's popularity as a form of physical exercise, the other life-enhancing aspects of this tradition remain obscure to many Westerners. This text introduces techniques that treat not only the physical body, but also the emotions, mind, heart and soul of the practitioner. There are breathing techniques to control energy levels, exercises to train and sharpen the intellect and meditative practices to help increase self-awareness.

Gary Kraftsow is the founder of the American Viniyoga Institute and teaches in the Viniyoga lineage of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K. Desikachar. He conducts seminars and retreats throughout the United States and Europe and trains teachers and therapists.

Part I The ancient foundation: the multidimensional self; Kriya yoga - transformation through practice; the Viniyoga of yoga - the art of appropriate application models and related approaches to practice. Part II The art of personal practice: nourishing the physical (the Annamaya level); energizing the vital (the Pranamaya level); educating the intellect - the Manomaya level; refining the personality - the Vijnanamaya level; fulfilling the heart - the Anadamaya level.
