Book Reviews of Yoga for Transformation: Ancient Teachings and Practices for Healing the Body, Mind, and Heart (Compass)
Book Review: An Excellent Guide to the True Meaning of Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of practising yoga I found myself drawn to investigating the Viniyoga approach, and to this book. As a voractious reader, I thought that I had pretty much 'seen it all' as far as yoga was concerned - after all, how different can all these books be when they have the same source? How wrong I was!
Gary Kraftsow's book brings a very different approach to yoga from that which I have previously experienced. It starts with a fresh perspective on yoga as a whole, then takes you through all the different aspects of yoga in such a way as to provide you with the knowledge to create a truly personal practice. With this personal practice, that is a practice composed of elements that are effective for YOU, you can change all those habits that you have accumulated through your life and truly transform into that which is your greatest potential. I have no doubt in the power of this form of practice, which is simple and subtle enough to be possible in almost everyone's life.
A life-changing book, even for those who are already strolling down the path of yoga. It has inspired me to read further, from Gary's other books and from the books of his teachers T Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar, and Kausthub Desikachar. More than that, I have arranged to practice with the Desikachar's in Chennai when I visit India next year.
What more can I say? Buy this book, read it, absorb it, and let a practice that is truly YOURS flow from it.
