Dancing the Body of Light

by Dona Holleman and Orit Sen-Gupta

Perfect pose, empty mind, and wide heart are the ways through which all the aspects of the human being are brought together into one organic whole. Using modern terminology and modern sciences, the old yogic concepts of the annamaya kosha (the physical body) and the pranamaya kosha (the energy body) are rediscovered as the twin vehicles in which the human being travels through life. The book contains a philosophical part and a detailed description of all the asanas, bandhas, pranayama techniques and savasana techniques. With more than three hundred photographs it gives a visual idea of the ease and fluidity with which the postures can be performed if they are done from the point of view of the energy body through the application of WU-WEI or NOT-DOING. This book is a must for all serious yoga practitioners and teachers.
