LIVING IN THE LIGHT

This groundbreaking guide to the philosophy and practice of Yoga will help readers reach their highest potential and a deeper understanding of self.

In the West, we have adapted asana, meaning pose, to be a reflection of the entire spectrum of Yoga. In truth, it is only one aspect of the Yoga philosophy. Yoga is all-embracing: a personal transformation that reaches beyond any approach to wellness and healing. Yoga defines everyday life as ideal and brings every experience, no matter how small, into the light. Living in the light means living deliberately and consciously, accepting your true self as a being of infinite possibilities, unfettered by false beliefs such as "I don't really matter."

Deepak's eight-week program mirrors the eight stages of transformation in Yoga: Social Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence, Body Awareness, Breath of Life, Staying in the Light, The Power of Attention, Transcendence, and Wholeness. In each stage, you'll learn to bring light into every facet of existence. The 50 illustrated yoga poses, created by Deepak's co-author and long-time private Yoga instructor Sarah Platt-Finger, are accessible for all skill levels, from beginner to enthusiast, and will help guide you into a state of total awareness. After journeying through the eight stages of transformation and corresponding yoga poses, you will understand how to reach your source, the true self.
