Sinossi
Lo yoga è una tradizione di saggezza vecchia di tremila anni. Per suo tramite si sono dischiuse enormi possibilità per l'esistenza umana e si sono fatte scoperte sulla mente e sul corpo che tuttora sbalordiscono le neuroscienze. Il trattato di riferimento fondamentale per lo yoga e la meditazione, noto come "Yogasutra" e attribuito a Patanjali, è uno dei più brillanti testi di psicologia mai scritti. La saggezza dello yoga parte da questi antichi precedenti per scoprire come lo yoga risponda ancora oggi, e con forza, ai nostri bisogni. Stephen Cope si è accostato a questa disciplina più di vent'anni fa e col tempo ha potuto apprezzare gli immensi benefici di posizioni ed esercizi di respirazione, accrescendo con una pratica regolare energia, resistenza, concentrazione, capacità di recupero e gioia di vivere; poi ha imparato il senso della ricerca di una vita straordinaria - dal punto di vista fisico, mentale e spirituale - implicito in questa tradizione di saggezza. I primi yogi infatti si chiesero in cosa consistesse la vita ottimale, come essere felici anche nei momenti difficili, quali fossero le radici profonde della sofferenza, scoprendo che essa si può estinguere.

Recensioni
This is the 1st book i've read about yoga and its deeper purpose. As an atheist, I am intrinsically weary of self-help and spiritual books but I am also deeply in love with yoga so I thought I'd give this book a go since I've heard great things about it. There was a lot of amazing insight in it for
There was a lot of meat on this bone. I have been practicing yoga for about eight months, and as I become more familiar with the physical aspects of yoga, I find myself more interested in the mental side as well. So there is a pull factor involved in exploring the wisdom of yoga. There is also a pus Leggi tutto
Stephen Cope is a psychotherapist and a longtime Kripalu Yoga teacher. In this book he integrates the Buddha’s insight of suffering into the daily lives of a series of friends who are fellow yoga practitioners. He provides a thorough teaching on the overlap of Patanjali’s yoga sutras with Theravada Leggi tutto
Fantastic book. Patanjali's Yoga Sutras can be very hard to read as they are written in short and sometimes cryptic messages of wisdom. However, this book will take you through the lives of people and their struggles and apply the sutras (and more) to their life trials and tribulations. It's a great Leggi tutto
4/5 Stars Library Loan For some reason, as of lately, I have been struggling with reading spiritually awakening books, yoga books, self-help books, etc. It might have to be because of the low scoring on the last two reads. Who knows. What I do know is that something happened when I read this book. All Leggi tutto
Not bad for a bunch of privileged folks finding enlightenment.
A beautiful dance between the sharing of Yogic wisdom and it’s journey told through Stephens’s own experiences. Experiences of his seeking and it’s fruits and the coming together of one of his yoga groups, unfolding in beautiful supportive friendships. I felt it’s warmth, I felt it’s importance and Leggi tutto
I read this book for my Yoga Book Club here in Portland. As a yoga teacher, I really enjoyed how author Stephen Cope wove the Yoga Sutras throughout the book, making them less esoteric and more accessible than I've experienced in the past. He touches on psychology, neurology, and Buddhist philosophy Leggi tutto
a profound read. a lot of information and a good book to take your time reading to grasp the various concepts. I enjoyed the philosophy/eastern views of yoga throughout the book. this book helped me understand the psychological side of meditation and gave me a better grasp of the importance of imple Leggi tutto
