Yes... I am currently reading 4 books... possibly this is another consequence of too much time online. BUT... I started this book last night and I am REALLY enjoying it so far. The other books I am reading just haven't held my rapt attention for extended periods of time. Two of them are essays... so, I figure that's ok.

i read Stephen Cope's second book first (The Wisdom of Yoga). I think his second book is better, but this first one is worth reading for the development of his interest in yoga, and also the development of his thinking. He has a talent for making the philosophy of yoga fun to read about and relate to. Also, for those who are interested in learning about how Kripalu came to be the place it is today, the book provides lots of background info...

A great read! Stephen is an excellent reflective writer. His experiences of the yogic tradition as he learned through Amrit Desai were helpful and insightful. His own understanding and great of yogic philosophies and history some through in this pensive read. I had the district feeling that the 2nd half of the book read much better and interestingly than the first. If you're curious about yogic philosophy and it's meeting with the west, this book is a great read.
