The Inner Tradition of Yoga: A Guide to Yoga Philosophy for the Contemporary Practitioner
It is clear that Stone is familiar with historic texts and with some of the spiritual practices of yoga. The problem lies in his inability to effectively communicate the concepts with his writing, which is trying at the best of times. Sentences such as "Whatever factors we notice in the body, we see them as existing contingently on the way we perceive," serve to frustrate this reader. Stone comes close to making points and then backs away, instead repeating himself several times in varied language, and then moves on, attempting to circle in on a different point, and he repeats the whole process.
What is really annoying is that the concepts he attempts to proffer are not difficult to conceive of. Stone does a good job of obscuring them with his unnecessary proliferation. Perhaps he should take some time off from yoga and take a few writing classes.
