Orit Sen-Gupta has been practicing yoga for 35 years. She teaches Vijnana Yoga and trains teachers in Israel, Europe, and the Americas. In this brief but sturdy little paperback, Sen-Gupta points out the importance of practice. In meditation, we pay attention to ourselves and all the subtle movements in our body, consciousness, and breathing. Returning to the pillow regularly helps center us and gives focus to our lives.

In successive chapters on sitting, breathing, moving, teaching, dying, and receiving, she delivers a succinct, lyrical, edifying, and enlightening overview of the inner dimensions of yoga.
