Overview

We seem to have forgotten what Yoga is and where it comes from. In a way, we stole Yoga from India and pretended it was ours. In the West, Yoga is perceived merely as a physical practice centred on movement and breathing. But Yoga is an ancient tradition passed down through verses from generation to generation. By studying the ancient verses, you will bring together the physical and philosophical practice of Yoga and experience its true meaning. The result of decades of pranayama practice, teaching and researching classical Indian scriptures, Pranayama Lost in Translation aims to revive the original meaning of pranayama in the West. With reference to the original scriptures, this book will explain Yoga terminology and offer practical instructions for those wishing to go deeper on their pranayama journey.
