Author Description

Weight loss does not need to be a painful process. Instead, it can be a gentle physical, mental and spiritual journey. The Skinny Sutras, - A Yoga Philosophy of Weight Loss, combines the Eight Limbs of Yoga with modern medical science to create an innovative roadmap to achieving a healthy weight. The reader is guided to a higher state of self-understanding and well-being by using the moral precepts contained in the Yamas and Niyamas, the physical techniques included in Asana, Pranayama, and Pratyahara, and the meditative techniques encompassed by Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. This book accepts as a premise that Western Medicine and Eastern Philosophy can be complementary, and when this dualism is resolved, weight loss can be considered not just as another goal, but as an exciting spiritual journey.
