Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy is the first book of its kind, presenting a comprehensive guide to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Join author Gregor Maehle, a seasoned yogi and compassionate teacher, as he guides you through:
• the history and lineage of yoga
• the fundamentals of breath, bandhas (energy locks within the body), drishti (the focal point of the gaze), and vinyasa (sequential movement)
• a detailed breakdown of the asanas of the Ashtanga Primary Series, following the traditional vinyasa count
• a lively and authentic rendering of the complete Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, yoga's ancient sacred text
• a glossary of yoga terminology
In the asana section, Maehle describes each posture with clear, meticulous instructions, photographs, anatomical illustrations, and practical tips. Information on the mythological background and yogic context of specific postures brings further insight to the practice. In the philosophy section, Maehle illuminates the Yoga Sutra using the major ancient commentaries as well as his own insights.

This volume makes the entire path of Ashtanga Yoga accessible to modern practitioners. Both practical guide and spiritual treatise, Ashtanga Yoga is an excellent introduction to the eight limbs of yoga and an invaluable resource for any yoga teacher or practitioner.

    According to Yoga, time is connected to mutability. Since consciousness is immutable, there is no time in consciousness. Time is an intellectual construct of the mind, a conceptualization. Time is born from mind; it is a child of the mind. Once the mind is dissolved into prakrti, time is dissolved with it.

    .
    We know time only from changes in nature. We observed that the earth turns around its axis and called it one day. Apart from that movement and its result, the changes in daylight, there is no justification for the idea of the day. Hours, minutes, and so on are only subdivisions of the concept “day.” We observe that the earth circles around the sun, and we call it a year. We watch a certain movement in nature and call the sum of instants that passed “time.” If for some reason the earth lost contact with the sun, our time units would become meaningless, and we would have to look for other changes in nature. Time is a conceptualization (vikalpa). Vikalpa is defined as a word that does not have a corresponding object. Time has no corresponding object in nature; it is merely deduced by the human mind, based on observation.
    Our universe is said to be billions of years old and is predicted to last for another fifteen billion years. Prior to the Big Bang, all matter was condensed in one spot. Time is dependent on observation of change, an external reference point, and an observer. None of them can be ascertained prior to the Big Bang. This leads us to the conclusion that there was no time either.

    In this way, yoga is a very forgiving, down-to-earth approach that takes into account the human condition and allows us to progress at our own rate. However big our failures and however deep our despondency initially, we just keep going, knowing that no effort we make is ever lost.16 Even if we cannot see the light of knowledge now because our mind is clogged up, change (parinama) is possible. The change or transformation toward stillness happens by replacing the subconscious impressions of mental clutter by those of stillness.
