description: 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 bodyIf you spend considerable time doing yoga you begin to see that it is about much more than just the bodythe practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the psychospiritual forces that animate it. Here Tias Little 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 bodys 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 readers clear insightful yoga pranayama and meditation exercises that apply these body-mind principles.
