The Spirit of Yoga
Ysé Tardan-Masquelier

Since its spread in the 1960s, the practice of yoga has become an integral part of the Western spiritual landscape. Ysé Tardan-Masquelier develops the key concepts of yoga by tracing its history, from Patanjali's Yoga-sutras to the present day, via the Tantric groups. She also explains what spiritual progression yoga intends to offer throughout life, and asks a fundamental question: can one fully practice yoga as a Christian, Jew, Muslim or atheist?

Neither a manual nor an apology for yoga, but a rigorous and very accessible overview of yoga in the West and its Indian roots, this book is a precious tool for all those, whether practitioners or sceptics, who wonder about the place of yoga in society or in their personal journey.
