(More customer reviews)I do not practice yoga ... yet, anyway! I did find this book to be a treasure trove of information, written on a level that a non-practitioner could understand and weave into their life. Andrew Harvey is an internationally acclaimed poet, novelist, translator and spiritual teacher. Karuna Erickson has, since 1970, been a devoted yoga practitioner/teacher and psychotherapist. In bringing their knowledge together, they have made magic!
The practice of Heart Yoga blends spirituality with the practice of yoga. It is the marriage of the yoga of the illumined body with the mysticism of the awakened heart. The path is shown through working with the Five Joys: The Joy of Transcendence, The Joy Of Creation, The Joy For All Things, The Joy Of Tantra, and the Joy Of Service. Each section includes a series of yoga poses, with accompanying photographs.
At the end of the book both Harvey and Erickson share their path through life - how they got to this point in thier work, what moves them, what they are passionate about, and where their work is headed.
The emphasis in this book is on working gently with your body to open it up - physically and spiritually. Any individual, regardless of their background in yoga (or lack of, as in my case!)will be able to work with this material. An added bonus - inclusion of spiritual writing from Rumi, Lalan, Francis of Assisi, Buddha, Hafiz and more!
