A Student's Guide to the History and Philosophy of Yoga
ISBN: 9781845532246 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The word yoga conjures up in the minds of many Westerners images of people performing exercises and adopting unusual, contortive postures.

Yoga is also associated with the Indian subcontinent and the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. This revised edition of a classic textbook concentrates on the evolution of yoga in the context of Indian culture, although the final chapters...
