Lessons from a great yoga master and an eminent psychoanalyst that explore what psychotherapy and yoga philosophy have in common
Yoga philosophy and Freud's revolutionary approach to psychology could not have been developed in more different times, places, or cultural conditions. And yet these two profound and dynamic systems of understanding human behavior, emotions, perception, and what's essential in our existence have an astonishing amount to share. What we learn by comparing their similarities as well as their differences can enhance how we comprehend our lives and our potential for change. In Freud and Yoga, the great yoga master T.K.V. Desikachar and the eminent psychoanalyst Hellfried Krusche examine forty classic sayings, or sutras, from the vantage point of their respective disciplines. Through clear, candid conversations that draw on long experience and are illustrated by case studies from the clinic and the shala, these two experts explain the concepts, terms, forces, and processes in their traditions. Therapists and patients, yoga adepts and professionals, and readers interested in psychology and spirituality will find this unique investigation fascinating, enriching, and useful. In a time when Western and Eastern modalities have ever more to offer each other, Freud and Yoga is a watershed work―one that draws us closer to understanding our own nature and the deep workings of the human psyche.

The Heart of Yoga is the first book to present the teachings of revered yogi Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) from the unique perspective of his son and principal student. Here, T.K.V. Desikachar shows how to use Krishnamacharya's system of viniyoga to develop a personal practice that is responsive to your own needs and adaptable to your age, health, and lifestyle. Krishnamacharya based his teachings on a number of scriptural sources, but of them all he placed the highest value on Pata-jali's Yoga Sutras. Heart of Yoga makes available for the first time in the West Desikachar's commentary on Pata-jali, as taught to him by his father.

YOGA "No puedo pensar en ningún libro mejor para reomendar a un amigo que empieza a entusiamarse con el yoga, pero que está desconcertado por la abundancia de diferentes escuelas y sus enseñanzas, contradictorias a veces. Además, me vería en apuros para pensar en u libro que pudiera recomendar más ampliamente a cualquier estudiante de yoga, que busca profundizar más en esta práctica. . . . El gran regalo de El corazón del yoga no radica simplemente en la profundidad del aprendizaje de Desikachar, sino en la compasión, la gentileza, el sentido práctico y el espíritu realista que impregna este libro." Yoga Journal "Lea este libro de principio a fin y empezará a entender de qué se trata el yoga." --The Sunday Times "Quienes están interesados en entender lo que es el yoga, aquellos que buscan un contexto más extenso y se enfocan en su práctica hatha, aquellos que buscan el Yoga Sutra como un guía y todos aquellos directa o indierectamente, han amado y recibido algún beneficio de Krishnamacharya o Desikachar, desearán tener este libro." --Yoga International "Una valiosa fuente de información sobre la teoría y práctica del yoga. Indispensable para estudiantes y maestros por igual." --Indra Devi, autora de Yoga for You Sri Tirmalai Krishnamacharya, quien vivió más de 100 años, fue uno de los más grandes yoguis de la era moderna. Los elementos de su enseñanza se han difundido por todo el mundo, gracias a los trabajos de B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois e Indra Devi, en sus primeros años, fueron alumnos de Krishnamacharya. Su hijo T.K.V. Desikachar vivió y estudió con él toda su vida y ahora enseña la gama total del yoga de Krishnamacharya y tiene como base las enseñanzas fundamentales de su padre, donde se sostiene que las prácticas se deben adaptar continuamente a las necesidades cambiantes del individuo, para lograr el máximo valor terapéutico. En El corazón del yoga Desikachar ofrece una síntesis del sistema de su padre y su propio acercamiento práctico, que describe como "un programa para la espina, a cualquier nivel, físico, mental y espiritual." Este es el primer texto sobre yoga, que da una idea general de la seuencia, paso a paso, para desarrollar una práctica completa de acuerdo a los antiguos principios del yoga. Desikachar discute todos los elementos del yoga-posturas y contraposturas, respiración consciente, meditación y filosofía-y muestra al estudiante de yoga cómo debe desarrollar una práctica que se ajuste a su estado actual de salud, su edad ocupación y estilo de vida. Krishnamacharya daba al Yoga Sutra de Patañjali un valor muy alto. En este libro se incluy en su totalidad, con la traducción y comentarios de Desikachar. A la segunda edición de El corazón del Yoga se agregó el Yogañjalisaram, treinta y dos poemas compuestos por Krishnamacharya que capturan la esencia de sus enseñanzas y aún más, hacen de El corazón del yoga un hito en la transmisión del yoga, de los antiguos maestros al mundo moderno. Un ingeniero estructural teórico, T.K.V. Desikachar vivió y estudió con su padre hasta la muerte de éste en 1989. Ha dedicado su vida a la enseñanza del yoga a personas de todas condiciones y niveles de habilidad, y en la actualidad enseña en la escuela fundada en memoria de su padre en Madrás, así como en Europa, los Estados Unidos, Australia y Nueva Zelandia.

The first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual. • A contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher. • This new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings. Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value. In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle. This is a revised edition of The Heart of Yoga.

My father's teaching... was based on the truth that each student must be taught according to his or her individual capacity at any given time. And each step is to be experienced for what the Bhagavad-Gita shows it to be: an episode in the greatest of all adventures, the eternal journey of the soul. --T. K. V. Desikachar Descended from an ancient yogic lineage, T.K.V. Desikachar is recognized as yoga's foremost teacher of teachers. Health, Healing, and Beyond is the long-awaited study of his application of yogic practices to achieve a union of body, mind, and spirit. Desikachar's father, T. Krishnamacharya, one of the greatest healers and sages of modern Indian history, incorporated many of his country's traditions into the adaptation and teaching of yoga for contemporary society. A student of Krishnamacharya for more than thirty years, Desikachar continues his father's efforts to preserve the essential teachings of yoga established over two thousand years ago.
