Meditation & Yoga

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that it combined meditation and yoga to help us live better lives.
I would like to thank Netgalley, the author, and publisher for providing me with a copy foe review in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

The yoga we do today has changed greatly from its origins.
For the first time I was able to delve into both the history and the religion surrounding yoga, as well as the different types and styles.
Clearly, logically, and expertly written, this book is very informative and provides an unbiased, analytical discussion of yoga.
For someone who wants to take their practice to the next level and is looking to understand the history and religious background, this is a great option.

I really liked how this book gave a nice overview of the different types of yoga and the benefits of each of them, which offers a nice way for readers to learn what is their personal best type to achieve what they want or find the right fit for themselves.

This book does touch on the topic of religion and shares the origins in the Indian religion with how yoga and meditation was a way to connect and communicate with god. But i think it is very possible to not read those parts if they are not something you are interested in. I personally found it interesting to learn more about the origins and what people wanted to achieve by learning and doing yoga and meditation at the time of the beginnings of it.

This book is a fantastic guide book -both as introductions but also to deepen the practice and learn more about the topic itself but also about yourself and how and why you practice and learn to better it all.

But it's not an easy read or a fast one. Its a book that you need to take your time with, read it slowly and don't overwhelm yourself with the information or you will miss out on what the book is trying to say.
