The Spirit of the Matter: Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga and the metaphysics of Yoga Taravali

An adventurous look at the progressive Mysore style yoga class format and the relationship between Western yoga and the Ashtanga Vinyasa method. How to use this system to reach psychic peaks while living a productive life of bliss and poise.

Instructions on how to use this system while serving your community by teaching the most inclusive form of physical yoga. Mysore style yoga is perfect for families, people with disability, athletes, beginners, and people of any age. This book features a blend of modern research on interoception, fascial remodeling, and positive psychology - along with clear and undiluted truths of the unified cosmos and infinite intelligence that exist within YOU, in a uniquely lucid way.

The tools within help you realise perfect physical health as well as the metaphysical truths of spiritual masters who existed long ago in the Himalayas. Featuring a modern translation of an ancient text that forms the heart of yoga, along with commentary and supporting information that helps you clearly implement it in your daily life, rather than leaving it as night-stand poetry.

This is a great book for yoga enthusiasts, studio owners, and spiritual seekers who wish to move beyond the common flavours of yoga, into the deep awareness and intentions of those who initiated yoga itself.
