Description
In Yoga of Heart, yoga instructor Mark Whitwell takes us back to the time when yoga was first developed and to the shamanic past of the Upanishads, when yoga was practiced as a means of acknowledging, enjoying and participating in the source of Life.
Whitwell explores the deeper tantric dimensions of hatha yoga - how yoga's purpose is to link the mind to the wonder of our own condition. He shows how hatha yoga is participation in life's polarities already in union - through the male surrender to the female principle.
Yoga of Heart focuses especially on clearing the energy centres and meridians and fostering dynamic health.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviews highlight Whitwell's exploration of yoga's relationship with intimate relationships, sexuality, gender, and love, inspired by his mother's wisdom about the mutual strength between men and women. His presentation is passionate and thought-provoking, though some critics note the book could benefit from tighter editing. Whitwell's free-flowing style offers compelling discourse but may challenge readers seeking a more structured narrative.
