Spiritual Transformational Yoga
Spiritual Transformational Yoga via the Eight Limbs of Yoga is a comprehensive guide designed to help readers of all faiths achieve inner peace and deepen their spiritual lives. Rooted in the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the book takes a step-by-step approach to guide practitioners on this transformative journey.
While many are initially drawn to yoga for its physical benefits—strengthening the body and calming the mind—the Eight Limbs offer a pathway to something far greater: inner peace. The book culminates in encouraging readers to take the peace cultivated through this practice “off the mat and into the world,” positively transforming their lives and the lives of those around them.
