Dancing the Body of Light

Více o knize

Dancing the Body of Light, authored by Dona and her student Orit Sen-Gupta, explores the evolution of yoga, aiming to ensure its continued development. The foundation of this work lies in the principles of perfect pose, empty mind, and wide heart, integrating all aspects of humanity into a cohesive whole. While ancient yogis sought this unity, historical shifts have often prioritized descriptions over the lived experience of yoga. This manuscript seeks to rejuvenate traditional concepts with a contemporary perspective, utilizing modern terminology and sciences to re-examine the annamaya kosha (physical body) and pranamaya kosha (energy body) as essential vehicles for human experience. By applying the principle of NOT-DOING or WU-WEI to both the physical and mental realms, the authors highlight a return to peacefulness and clarity, enabling actions that reflect the present moment. The book is available in a beautifully designed hardcover and deluxe paperback, featuring a comprehensive section on asanas, bandhas, pranayama techniques, and savasana, complemented by over three hundred photographs. These visuals illustrate the fluidity of postures when approached through the lens of the energy body and NOT-DOING. This work is essential for dedicated yoga practitioners and teachers.
