Atheist Yoga

De: Anton Drake

Narrado por: Jack Chekijian

Atheist Yoga makes the case for yoga's total compatibility with atheism, while simultaneously offering an in-depth explanation of advanced yoga techniques. It takes a close look at the full spectrum of yoga methodology and explains how to really advance your practice to higher levels of expertise, delving deeply into hatha yoga, pranayama, and meditation while thoroughly exploring esoteric subjects such as Kundalini, tantra, sexual yoga, kumbhaka, pratyahara, and yogic trance in sensible and easy to understand practical terms. From a starting point of realism and scientific materialism, it begins to decode and illuminate the ancient secrets of yoga in a way that listeners will find highly accessible and enjoyable on multiple levels, while delving into the deep unconscious symbolism of Kundalini and the chakras and describing many highly effective and little-known "left hand path" techniques of meditation, yogic trance, sensory withdrawal, concentration, and yogic sex. Through it all, Atheist Yoga makes the case that yoga and meditation are much easier and far more genuine when the fuzzy idea of a Supreme Being no longer separates the meditator from his or her own individual self.

Interesting

Would you listen to Atheist Yoga again? Why?

Yes, I feel that it's a valuable reference.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

He switches between his conversational voicing of the characters in the interactive parts of the story, to the lectural news-caster-y voice he uses for the factual parts, quite easily.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where the woman first shows up. It was almost funny, and definitely strange.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

The Atheist non-theology, and Freudian quotes. Some interesting information supporting materialism.

Any additional comments?

This was an interesting philosophical work.

Good content, Poor delivery

The narrator for this audiobook made it very difficult to follow. I would suggest the book to any that are interested in it, but don’t buy this audiobook. Fairly disappointed in the narration.

Great book!

People often ask how a Godless person like me goes to yoga class. this book has helped me to explain it to myself and to others.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The book was a little hard to keep up with, i feel didn't know a lot of the yoga styles they where talking about and it made it hard to really keep up with the mix matching of different styles.

What does Jack Chekijian bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

i feel like the voice was slowed down, i did like that it was slowed but when i increased the speed to 1.25 it felt like he was talking to me more natural like.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It took me two sittings to listen to the whole book. Its a lot of information to take all at once.
