Little substantial scholarly work has been done on yoga's authentic place and integrity both in India and the modern world - this book will clarify and enrich our understanding

Unique and original in its focus, this book is the first systematic and scholarly study of yoga

An important book that corrects the misperceptions about the yoga tradition

Will be of interest to a very broad spectrum of readers - scholars of Eastern/Indian religious/philosophical thought, under- and post-graduate students/practitioners and instructors of yoga
