ANCIENT WISDOM: FOLLOWING THE YOGA OF THE HEART
Jenny Beeken
LEARN FROM THE WISDOM OF THE EIGHT LIMBS OF YOGA!
Long before the world's other philosophies had been formed, the Vedas of India recognized a path which reconciled the individual with the universality of being. Yoga included posture work, hatha yoga, but the yogas were many and included ways of meditation as well as ethical precepts. Later, they were systematized into the famous Eight Limbs of Yoga, more relevant today than ever. Simple but profound, the ethical precepts of the Eight Limbs can be used alongside the rest of the system to achieve a perfect harmony of body, mind and spirit.
ANCIENT WISDOM: FOLLOWING THE YOGA OF THE HEART is a workbook as well as a guide to the whole of yoga. You can integrate postures with inner exploration, and be at peace with the world

She trained under B K S Iyengar, and is the founder and principal of the Inner Yoga School in Petersfield, Hampshire, which special¬izes in teaching the deep awareness that goes with the postures.
