Yoga The greater tradition

Frawley (Yoga and Ayurveda; Vedantic Meditation), director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies, offers a very brief, plainly written, and straightforward guide to the principles of yoga. As he reminds us, yoga goes far beyond the controlled body postures the word brings up for most Western readers. It is the outward expression of the principles of nonviolence, truthfulness, and self-control that exemplify the most thoughtful applied Hindu practice today. For most collections.
