Description

Yoga can tone your mind the same way it tones your body, enhancing flexibility and building vitality and strength. But only those who discover the spiritual meaning beyond the poses truly benefit from all yoga has to offer. If you are ready to take your yoga practice to new depths by combining your physical practice of yoga with your deepest consciousness, this book will be your guide.

Written by renowned yoga teacher Wade Imre Morissette, Transformative Yoga reveals the key transformative process embedded within the yoga tradition. This book offers a complete set of beginner, intermediate, and advanced yoga posture sequences with photographs, and includes yoga meditations for boosting energy, releasing stress, and accessing your inner bliss.

These daily rituals stretch your mind and body to increase your capacity for joy and open you to new opportunities for creating productive changes in your life. So why practice yoga any other way? You can begin right now to transform your yoga practice and transform yourself.

Wade takes us on a transformational journey into the self, from the external and physical to the subtle, energetic, emotional, mental, and blissful bodies that make up who we are.
-Sharon Gannon, yoga teacher and cofounder of Jivamukti Yoga

Wade takes us on a transformational journey into the self, from the external and physical to the subtle, energetic, emotional, mental, and blissful bodies that make up who we are. —Saron Gannon, yoga teacer and coounder o Jîvamuktî Yoga

Wade Imre Morissette offers a unique and practical approach to the koshas. He explores yoga not only as a physical practice, but as an experience of subtle energy and awareness. —Yogî Vîsvketu, P.D., ounder o Word Conscîous Yoga Famîy and Anand Prakas Yoga Asram în Rîsîkes, ïndîa

Morissette’s energy occupies every word of the book, and readers will feel deeply connected to his spirit. He provides inspiring teachings through his work and teaches out of his experience, rather than mere intellectual knowledge. I am sure this work will serve as a great inspiration for others in their own personal journey of transformation. —Kaustub Desîkacar, yoga teacer and yoga terapîst at Krîsnamacarya Heaîng and Yoga Foundatîon
