Description
Yoga is a technique of self-awareness that integrates the mind and the body. The word 'yoga' derives from the Sanskrit yuj meaning 'to bind together' and, through practising yoga, the yogi tries to bind himself or herself with the universal process of being.If this end is to be achieved, all physical and mental tensions have to cease. Accordingly one of the basic yoga techniques is meditation which turns our consciousness towards inner calm, helping us to achieve samadhi or pure consciousness.
On its own or combined with yoga, meditation can also enhance and encourage feelings of positive self-esteem and alleviate some of the stress we all feel in today's demanding and stressful world.
Yoga & Meditation provides a fascinating introduction to this journey towards self-enlightenment. It has clear and concise instructions for the major yoga positions and meditation techniques and sound practical advice for creating a lifestyle conducive to inner calm. ISBN:9781842050316
