We live in a world that moves so fast that we re in a perpetual race to keep up without even realizing it. Living in fast-forward mode with no time to breathe is sadly seen as a sign of a successful career or a fabulous social life.

What we re losing sight of is that stress holds us back from reaching our full potential. It makes us uptight.

And it s not just our body that s affected, but also our peace of mind. We re tense, edgy and reactive, effectively blocking the free flow of our creative energy.

For Many, Yoga Is Merely A Way To Keep Fit. Osho, However, Believes That Yogic Postures Are But An Infinitely Small Part Of An Entire Recipe For Living .

In A Language Both Fluid And Graceful, Osho Explains How Yoga Can Transform One's Life. The Reader Is Told How He Can First Transcend The Body, Then The Mind And, Finally, How He Can Fall Into Your Own Being .

Drop All The Outer Goals And Move Inwards, Says Osho. Yoga, For Him, Is Not About Control Or Discipline But About Achieving A Sense Of Balance.

Yoga: The Science Of Living, An Outcome Of Osho's Talks, Is Not Merely A Commentary On Patanjali's Ancient Treatise. It Is Enriched With Insights From Osho's Awakened Consciousness (less)
