Description
Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise and as a potent source of calm in the midst of our stress-filled lives. Far fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga as a 4,000-year-old practical path of liberation – a path that fits the needs of modern Western seekers with startling precision.
Now Stephen Cope, a Western-trained psychotherapist-offers this marvelously lively and irreverent “pilgrim’s progress” for today’s world. Stephen Cope demystifies the philosophy, psychology, and practice of yoga, and shows how it applies to our most human dilemmas: from loss, disappointment, addiction, and the eternal conflicts around sex and relationship. And he shows us that in yoga “liberation” does not require us to leave life for some transcendent spiritual plane. Life itself is the path.
Above all, Cope shows how yoga can heal the suffering of self-estrangement that pervades our society, leading us to a new sense of purpose and to a deeper, more satisfying life in the world.
