Heart Yoga by Mark Whitwell

An authentic yoga that opens hearts to love and wisdom.

"The highest place of yogic awareness is the heart, not the head." And in our hearts we are all already enlightened, says Mark Whitwell, an American-New Zealand yoga master. He studied yoga with important masters such as T.KV. Desikachar, who also introduced him to the yoga of the yoga master T. Krishnamacharia.

In "Heart Yoga," Whitwell dares to do something revolutionary: He formulates a new, his own Yoga Sutra of the Heart: 44 concisely summarized pieces of wisdom about life, love and enlightenment. Yoga, according to Whitwell, must be separated from the pursuit of something that can only be achieved in the future. Yoga is life itself, a dance of the male and the female in mutual penetration and mutual respect. How this can affect your own daily yoga practice - this too can be learned in this stirring book.
