Yoga Philosophy

An Outline of the Secret Hindu Teachings

De: Hereward Carrington PhD

Narrado por: Lori Nadeau Richardson

Carrington presents a fairly deeply detailed look at understanding the 8 limbs of Yoga. Originally published in 1923 as a Westerner’s perspective and understanding of the practice Yoga, Carrington reveals a surprising depth of understanding as that of an adept, and manages to impart a lot of information, similar in that way that several more recent and more famous Yogis have shared their versions of shedding light on Yoga.

Depending on how deep one’s own practice has been, there are several jewels of information in this small book that many current practicing yogis will find interesting, as well as some different perspectives on material that may offer a slightly differing view than what is generally taught in yoga teaching programs. As a historical document, Yoga Philosophy delivers quite a good understanding of the practice from a time period when Yoga was barely heard about in the US, much less known, and makes for interesting comparison for how most people approach Yoga in the 21st century.
