A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Yogasana by Yogrishi Vishvketu is a wonderful addition to the rich, ever-evolving experience-based yoga tradition. In this book, Yogrishi Vishvketu takes a new look at yoga from a holistic approach. He speaks about the physical postures and connects them back to their energetic counterparts by explaining the posture s relation to the flow of energy in the body, the chakras, and how to align oneself with the cosmic energies of the universe. Furthermore, this book is accessible to all. By taking a fresh look at the traditional terminology of yogasana and creating (or recreating) new names for the poses, and by providing the reader with the chakras and yantra symbols, Vishvketu allows readers to deepen their knowledge about yoga as a whole. He takes a new approach to teaching the poses not organizing them by alphabetical order or by category, but rather by deeper root characteristics, which allows readers to follow the poses in a natural progression." --H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, president of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, India

"Yogrishi Vishvketu has become a very important teacher in my practice. I met him in Rishikesh at Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram some years ago and began to practice with him every morning. Since I have known him, he has shown wisdom in yogasana and meditation, and this shines through in his classes and inspires me to keep coming. His authenticity and sincere love for each student is tremendously inspiring. He is a Yogi who truly walks his talk. Watching him so mindfully compose this book has given me an appreciation of the legacy that he is leaving on this planet. As the world moves faster and faster and the variations of yogasana keep changing, this legacy and his authenticity will be appreciated in the years to come. I salute him with great love and gratitude for the gift he has given humanity." --Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, founder of Golden Bridge Yoga

Yogasana: The Encyclopedia of Yoga Poses by Yogrishi Vishvketu is one of the most comprehensive volumes on yoga. The book is written in a way that honors the traditional yogic guru-disciple relationship. Few books of the same genre have been able to clearly explain yogasana step-by-step like this. I know this book will be of vital importance and use for yoga students, experienced practitioners, and spiritual seekers alike." --Swami Amlanand Giri, founder of Tripura Yoga Ashram, Haridwar, India

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Filled with chakra activation charts, images and descriptions of over eight hundred poses, and Sanskrit translation guides, this comprehensive encyclopedia makes the spirituality, practice, and language of yoga more accessible than ever before.

Packed with over eight hundred individual poses performed by renowned practitioner Yogrishi Vishvketu, Yogasana: The Encyclopedia of Yoga Poses is the most comprehensive yoga asana guide to date. With poses adapted to every skill level, the encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner.

Nearly a millennium ago, the hatha yoga tradition included over seven hundred thousand yoga poses. Today, only a fraction of those are known. Yogi Vishvketu, a lifelong yoga devotee, bridges that gap by connecting modern poses to their ancient roots with an intuitive naming system that fuses past with present. 

Thorough translation charts—which provide pose names in Sanskrit script along with transliterations in Sanskrit and English—help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose. The energetic essence of each asana is unveiled through a detailed chakra chart and graphic indicators depicting the chakras activated by that pose.

With poses organized into a logical sequence with roots in the traditional Himalayan system and enhanced by Yogi Vishvketu’s decades of practice, this yoga compendium showcases the asanas, the language, and the spiritual path of yoga together in a single, all-inclusive volume.
