Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-30 00:00:00 Robert Darden When many people think of the word "yoga", they think of the exercise poses that make up the typical Western yoga practice. But that is just one part of what yoga is. The poses are known as "Hatha Yoga". Yoga itself is so much larger and is actually a whole philosophy of life and spirituality. Darren Main's book, "Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic" is a great overview of the totality of yoga. Darren Main boils down the ancient yoga principles into an understanding that the typical Western urban individual can comprehend and practice. If you want a good understanding of the principles of yoga, this is a great book to help you on your path. It gets a little bogged down in the middle of the book...and that's why I gave it four instead of five stars...but that is because of the subject matter of those chapters. For anyone interested in understanding the philosophy and spirituality of yoga, this is a great book!
