"There is no other manual to the subtle body so intimately connected to the practical application of yoga as The Art of Vinyasa. With equal parts of compassion and grace, Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor ground the esoteric notions of the yoga tradition's most sacred teachings--and impart that wisdom to the reader More than just a book, this is a body of work that proves that yoga is a spiritual path, and that the body is not reducible to mere bones and muscles. I strongly recommend this book to all sincere students of yoga."--Kino MacGregor, author of The Power of Ashtanga Yoga, "More than just a book, this is a body of work that proves that yoga is a spiritual path, and that the body is not reducible to mere bones and muscles. I strongly recommend this book to all sincere students of yoga."--Kino MacGregor, author of The Power of Ashtanga Yoga "Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman are a dynamic duo merging their collective energies to create this powerful book. The pages are filled with their esoteric, practical, philosophical, visual and compassionate insights presenting yoga in its myriad layers of physical endeavor, intellectual pursuit, theoretical expression, and ultimately a spiritual path."--David Swenson, author of Ashtanga Yoga: The Practice Manual " The Art of Vinyasa is nothing short of miraculous. Without the advantage of living with an enlightened master (I can't find one), this book is the next best teacher--and I for one am deeply indebted."--Rodney Yee, author of Moving Toward Balance " The Art of Vinyasa is an extraordinary book, illuminating the rare and precious path into the inner (and most powerful) dimensions of yoga practice. Study and savor it, contemplate it--most importantly, unearth and practice the gems you find within its pages."--Rod Stryker, founder of ParaYoga and author of The Four Desires

Synopsis
A radical presentation of the most rigorous form of contemporary yoga as meditation in motion The Art of Vinyasa takes a unique look at Ashtanga yoga as meditation in motion that produces profound inner change. Two of the most well-respected teachers of the Ashtanga style of yoga, Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, explore this rigorous practice not as a gymnastic feat, but as a meditative form. They reveal that doing the practice--and particularly the vinyasa, or the breath-synchonized movements--in such a deep and focused way allows practitioners to experience a profound awakening of the body and mind. It also develops an adaptable, flexible practice that can last a lifetime. Freeman and Taylor give an in-depth explanation of form, alignment, and anatomy, and how they work together in the practice. They also present a holistic approach to asana practice that includes an awareness of the subtle breath, and seamlessly merges yoga philosophy with practical technique. Unlike other books on Ashtanga, The Art of Vinyasa does not follow the linear pattern of the sequences of postures that are the hallmark of Ashtanga yoga. Instead, it interlinks the eight limbs: yama and niyama (ethical practices), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), pratyahara (nongrasping of the senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), samadhi (harmony, insight)--and shows how to establish an internally rooted yoga practice., A radical presentation of the most rigorous form of contemporary yoga as meditation in motion.
