Publisher's Synopsis
""The Eight Steps to Yoga as Told to Otis Peabody Swift"" is a book written by Francis Yeats-Brown that outlines the eight steps of yoga as taught by the ancient sage Patanjali. The book is written as a dialogue between a Western student, Otis Peabody Swift, and an Indian guru, who explains each step of yoga in detail. The eight steps include yama (moral codes), niyama (self-purification), asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (enlightenment). The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the philosophy and practice of yoga, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in deepening their knowledge and practice of this ancient tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
