I did read that article and I’m sure we talked about the book, and I think you referred me to another chapter in it at one point…..too many ej articles later, and i need a walk by the river and less internet :)

Thanks for writing, Braja. Let me know if you’d like to discuss.

By the way, the core essay here is an earlier version of what I eventually published on elephant here:

Much of the other material has not been published on elephant yet, but will be in the future.

Just starting this from the beginning, Bob….it’s the kind of thing you load onto the Kindle and wander down some village track near the river, sit down, and read quietly….I’m looking fwd to doing that in the coming days….:)

I love hearing about people who practice in widely different spheres. I still don’t know how to organize all my different worlds so I just sort of throw it all it there. I guess it will evolve.

love,
Erika

Couldn’t agree more, which is why I say so directly in the book:

This is actually not that easy to do at first, hence the many branches of Yoga that teach a variety of techniques.

and include a list of Recommended Reading, especially the expansive Kripalu Yoga

I’m sure the DVD’s on your site are also very good for helping people find the right path for them.

Thanks for writing.

Yoga has a rich and complex history and as you say it can be confusing to many. The essentials in their purest form are simple yet it is coming to that state that may take more than a bit of practice.
