Yoga - Heilung von Körper und Geist jenseits des Bekannten: Leben und Lehren Krishnamacharyas

Rate this book
Yoga - das Geschenk Indiens an die Welt - zählt seit vielen Jahren auch im Westen zu den wichtigsten spirituellen Wegen der Heilung und Transformation von Körper und Geist. Diese Entwicklung ist eng mit dem Yogalehrer Krishnamacharya (1889-1989) verbunden, der auch als Vater des modernen Yoga bezeichnet wird. Anhand der Lebensbeschreibungen seines Vaters lässt Desikachar eine Yoga-Tradition lebendig werden, die einerseits aus uralten Quellen schöpft und andererseits durch Krishnamacharya und später durch ihn weitreichende Veränderungen erfahren hat, um sie den Bedürfnissen des modernen Menschen, auch des westlichen, anzupassen.
