A wise, accessible guide that makes the spiritual and ethical teachings of the yogic tradition immediately relatable to our practice on the matâand in our everyday relationships and activities
âThere is no daily practice without some formal training; and there is no deep spiritual training without the mess of relational life. The two are one,â says Michael Stone. At the root of yoga practice there is a vast and intriguing philosophy that teaches the ethics of nonviolence, patience, honesty, and respect.
Innovative teacher Michael Stone draws from numerous disciplinesâincluding Buddhism and psychotherapyâto provide an in-depth, completely clear explanation of yogic philosophy, along with teachings on how to bring our understanding of yoga theory to deeper levels through our practice on the matâand through our relationships with others. Yoga, says Stone, is a practice that helps us be more present with the actual, fluid life we are living right nowâand there is no yoga without the conditions of your life. This book describes how to work with those conditions and how to fully appreciate yoga as a practice of being intimate with moment-to-moment reality.
