Product Description:

The first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras—the basic text for classical yoga—are examined in this spiritual guide to the practice of yoga. Foundational to all yogic thought, they are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living that free individuals to take ownership of their lives, direct them toward the fulfillment they seek, and gain the skills to choose attitude, thought, and action. The first five guidelines are referred to as the yamas—a Sanskrit word that translates to "restraints"—and encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, nonexcess, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are referred to as the niyamas, or observances—purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. A self-study section at the end of each chapter may also be used by instructors for group discussion.

Summary: Beautiful! Rating: 5

This book is a beautiful guide to yoga as a lifestyle. This lifestyle is not about flat stomachs and gym perfect bodies, but rather about yogic living as a way to be in communion with Spirit while fully living with the joys and challenges of modern life. I found this book to be so helpful in my personal life that I am now using it as the text for a course I teach. This book is a must read for anyone who wants their life to fully reflect their deepest spiritual values.

Summary: Yamas and Niyamas Rating: 5

A gem of a book, Adele makes the ancient information so practical and succinctly puts it into a common person's vernacular. Very inciteful information for any serious student of yoga.

Summary: Thought Provoking, Great Introduction to Yoga Philosophy Rating: 5

I found this book to be a wonderful introduction to Yoga philosophy, and a fantastic overview of the Yamas and Niyamas. I knew very little of the topic beforehand, and am inspired to delve deeper after reading this book. I enjoyed the real world examples that Adele uses to explain the principles, and found the questions at the end of chapters to be thought provoking. I want to bring it to my book club to read with them...
