Mystic Yoga

An expanded journey into the mystic beating heart of Yoga, from death cult origins to reinvention in the quantum age. This is not the yoga of studios and poses but something far more vital and challenging - a mysticism that challenges who we are and where we are in the universe. Mystic Yoga is an exploration of consciousness, throughout the evolution of humanity, referencing classic texts of Indian philosophy and Buddhism which have a totally different take on knowledge and what it means to know ourselves and our world.
From the early Indian sub continent, via Europe, to the US and the West, taught by gurus, intellectualised by academics, the history of Yoga has been permeated with a mystic essence that is too often neglected. This book restores the balance.
