Take My Yoga�connects yoga�s eight major teachings to the call to follow Jesus, exploring how we might do that through yogic wisdom. Essentially a practical book without reference to doctrine or dogma, Take My Yoga�provides insights and practices for supporting different spiritual journeys, particularly Christians exploring their faith in new ways or yogis looking for a deeper practice, or simply a path for people not committed to any religious faith. This books begins with 'Take my yoga and learn of me�'�and explores how to understand Jesus�s life in terms of Jnana�(wisdom), Bhakti�(devotion), Karma�(selfless action), and Raja�(meditation). And the following chapters provide insight, meditations, and practices based on yoga�s eight major teachings (aka the eight limbs�of yoga). Take My Yoga�is written for anyone who wishes to experience an abundance of life for themselves, their loved ones, and indeed their neighbours -�that is, all beings everywhere!
