The world of yoga is astonishingly rich in its array of
schools and practices. Yet, as diverse as they seem, they share a
common aim: the discovery of the essence of existence that can be
found at the core of our being, and the liberation that comes from
that discovery. With this worthy goal in mind, Richard Freeman
presents an enlightening overview of the many teachings, practices,
and scriptures that serve as the basis for all the schools of
yoga—hatha, bhakti, jnana, karma, tantra, and others. He shows how
the myriad forms are ultimately related, and can even be perceived
to make up a vast, interpenetrating matrix, symbolizing the unity,
profundity, and beauty of the ancient tradition.
Richard's wide-ranging discussion includes the Upanisads and
Samkhya philosophies, the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, the eight limbs
of astanga yoga, the process and purpose of hatha yoga, and much
more. He also explores the role of the guru, chanting, meditation,
and the yogic imperative of offering service to others. All of this
is applied to the actual practice, giving the reader the tools to
digest and apply the wealth of information to daily life. The
Mirror of Yoga will be a welcome resource to all yogis who wish to
better practice the profound philosophy underlying their
practice.
