THE YOGI'S WAY
THE YOGI'S WAY: LIVING IN ACCORD WITH THE YAMAS AND NIYAMAS
The yamas and niyamas, the first two limbs of the eight-limb path of yoga, serve as a framework for us to engage with others and the world we live in, in a manner which is most appropriate for our personal well-being, and the well-being of life as a whole. The Yogi’s Way, provides a means for practitioners of all levels, to investigate their personal relationship to each one of these guiding principles. Regardless of your level of knowledge, experience, depth of understanding, or intensity of practice, The Yogi’s Way encourages an honest examination and exploration of who you are and how you relate to life.
“David’s book lifts the veil of mystery as to why the disciplines and restraints of yoga are so integral to a holistic awakening practice.” - from the foreword by Ryan Kurczak, host of The Kriya Yoga Podcast
