Rezensionen

"Clark and Greene's enlightening book on the art of teaching yoga provides a refreshing perspective, combining the rigor of philosophical inquiry with the richness of experiential insight. Drawing on aesthetic philosophy, performance theory, and an understanding of how knowledge is embodied, the authors have crafted an accessible, nuanced book that confronts and corrects popular misconceptions."-Joseph Alter, director of the Asian Studies Center, University of Pittsburgh, and author of Yoga in Modern India

"This book goes into the vast field of yogic studies and explores the deep thinking and resulting awareness that develops from these studies. This journey through the territory of 'yoga physics' is imperative for the honest practitioner to create afresh the living art and science of yoga. As we evolve, we ask the vital question, 'Who are we in this Great Mystery?' Take a deep breath! This book will help you in your quest for answers."-Ana T. Forrest, creatrix of Forrest Yoga, author of Fierce Medicine

"This book is superb! It deals graciously with many of the issues that I often try to articulate to students and prospective teachers. Brilliant!"-Andrew Eppler, director of Ashtanga Yoga Studio, Norman, Oklahoma, and producer and director of Mysore Yoga Traditions
