Asana - Journey to the Heart of the Postures
Colette Poggi

The yoga postures have been handed down to us from the Indian tradition. Their Sanskrit name and their representation evoke images, plants, animal, human or divine figures. They are associated with colours, legends and sounds (mantras) that carry a rich symbolism.
Discover through a choice of postures the imaginary of the āsana. Practice the calligraphy of Sanskrit names, enter the magical world of Indian legends, savour the stories of the yogin, practice while internalising all knowledge.
With Colette Poggi, one of the best specialists on yoga and India, you will be invited to walk through this book as explorers, but also as gourmets. To penetrate the forest of āsana, leave behind habits and mechanical thoughts. Savour their unique fragrances, opening yourself within, letting your consciousness vibrate freely. For this world of yoga and āsana can only be fully understood by living it from within.
That is the secret of the practice.
