Quotes by Georg Feuerstein  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The postures are only the "skin" of yoga. Hidden behind them are the "flesh and blood" of breath control and mental techniques that are still more difficult to learn, as well as moral practices that require a lifetime of consistent application and that correspond to the skeletal structure of the body. The higher practices of concentration, meditation and unitive ecstasy(samadhi) are analogous to the circulatory and nervous system." Georg Feuerstein The Deeper Dimension of Yoga”
Georg Feuerstein, The Deeper Dimension of Yoga: Theory and Practice

“Boredom is a sign that you're detached from your own bodily experience and aren't living in the present moment.”
Georg Feuerstein, Yoga For Dummies

“A disharmonious mind is disturbing in itself, but sooner or later it also causes physical problems.”
Georg Feuerstein, Yoga For Dummies
