The Lotus and The Stars : The Way of Astro-Yoga

For the first time in recent history, the disciplines of yoga and astrology are intertwined, allowing readers to draw on the energies of the various sun signs and planets through specific yoga postures. Even experienced yoga practitioners will find new meaning in pursuit of this book's goal: discovering and empowering the self. Most books on yoga emphasize its physical, mental and spiritual benefits in general terms. The Lotus and the Stars applies the tools of both yoga and astrology directly to personal situations. What Rob and Trish MacGregor have done, in essence, is to create a length and complexity according to the needs of the individual. A whole system is set forth, which, once it's learned, enables the reader to create his or her own workout and alter it as his or her needs change. The book looks at the virtues and the challenges that are attached to each sun sign, and recommends a yoga regimen for each. It doesn't mean that you necessarily have to do the Aquarius yoga because you were born in January, but rather that if you feel the need for courage, you can do a workout that falls under Aries, because fearlessness is a characteristic of that sign.
