Yoga of the Subtle Body

A Guide to the Physical and Energetic Anatomy of Yoga

De: Tias Little

Narrado por: Tiffany Morgan

With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle body.

If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is about much more than just the body - the practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the pyschospiritual forces that animate it. Tias Little here provides a way to understand these forces as they relate to an integrated yoga of body, mind, and spirit. He unites somatic concepts and wisdom teachings in this practical guide to the anatomy of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle (or energetic) body.

Little is a master teacher who offers us a guided tour of the body's structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new structural awareness as the basis for exploring the subtle body. In a meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. Further, Little offers listeners clear, insightful yoga, pranayama, and meditation exercises that apply these body-mind principles.

Good text

Upbeat performance of a deep text. The narrator mispronounced many terms.

Good book.worth the time,

A valuable book that needs re-recording

I downloaded this book after being told from some in my yoga teacher training cohort that they found it valuable. While the content itself is valuable and pairs well with what I'm learning about physical therapy, anatomy, and yoga, the narrator completely detracts from the content. The tone is all wrong, for one. The mispronunciation of terms is inexcusable, for another.

Best audio book I have listened to - Intensely captivating

Captivating content and narration. Superbly presented. Absorb this wisdom and practices to change your life and everything about your human existence on Earth.

Narrator Bummer

I really want to get through this book but the narrator was poorly chosen. I wish Tias Little had narrated it himself, it would have conveyed the material with more understanding. So many mispronunciations and there’s a strange intonation throughout. I feel like they chose someone with a false “sexy yoga teacher” voice. Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Great book on yoga, but perhaps not an entry one

So far the best book on yoga I have come across. It beautifully interweaves the teachings of yoga through the ages with its anatomical underpinnings, explaining what is going on in the body and what the different elements of yoga signify. However, it might be a bit heavy for a first-time yogi. Stephen Cope's 'The Wisdom of Yoga' provides a gentler introduction. Finally, Tiffany Morgan's narration is a gentle song to start the day with.

Remarkable really

One of the more lucid explainations of yoga anatomy. Focus on modern anatomy and thought provoking visuals, your imagination is provoked and you literally begin to feel the author's discriptions. Beautiful book

Deep stuff for deep people

Tias presented to me in a course online and I was immediately intrigued. Manifesting in book form he does not disappoint. No previous knowledge of Yoga needed, but a willingness to experiment and physically try his suggestions is helpful. Up to date I have not read or heard a synthesis of ideas as internally focused yet outwardly integrated.

Enjoy it!

eye opener

exceptional book with so much information. wonder how Tias can ever remember so many terms. very informative and the meditations are so....👍. love it. am sure I will listen to it again.

the next level

The information and practices for accessing and nurturing the subtle body will forever change the way I practice and teach yoga. My only wish is that someday, Tias himself will read the book out loud, as his voice and presence would add so much to the teaching and instruction...

An important text on Yoga

Yoga of the subtle body by Tias Little is a rich and profound text on yoga practice and philosophy. In my humble opinion, this text is as important as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The author describes several important aspects of Chakras, Nadis, bandhas and Prana. Connects these concepts with the physiology of the gross and subtle body, and recommending a practice at the end of each topic. I purchased the Audible version and was so impressed that I purchased a paper copy as well. I would highly recommend this book to every yoga teacher and student who would like to move beyond their physical practice into the yoga of the subtle body.
