Dipak Chopra - the world -famous spiritual leader, writer, doctor, founder "The Chopra Foundation":
"Penetrable, written in a very expressive language, a book about yoga. Eddie Stern has great experience in teaching and lecturing on the topic of yoga. For me personally, the most exciting part of the book was the neatly building a connection between the oldest teachings of Indian sages and modern secular society. The yoga is currently on the crest of popularity, but the trends are changeable. Eddie knows that without regular yoga practice, without a holistic idea of ​​its potential, there is a real danger that yoga will become only a transient phenomenon.
For all its current popularity, yoga in India is shrouded in breathtaking difficulties, philosophical disputes, endless bothering about ancient texts, the rivalry of teachers and systems that do not see the end.
I deeply admire Eddie Stern for making clarity and understanding into this mess. The future depends on this clarity and sensitivity.
This book is a deep and at the same time affordable way to see yoga in all its potential.

At a time when I started to engage in I did not have access to information materials on yoga, but now I even envy those who start, because you have the opportunity to study yoga and get answers to all questions that arise in the process and this book should To be in the arsenal of the sources to which you turn to the explanations on a regular basis, it reflects the perfect balance between yoga and science and offers to your attention a modern and very detailed view of yoga.
