Awakening the Intelligence of Body and Mind
Richard Freeman has been a student of yoga since 1968. His background includes studying Ashtanga, Iyengar, bhakti, and traditional hatha yoga; Western and Eastern philosophy; and Sanskrit; all of which he incorporates into the Ashtanga yoga practice as taught by his principal teacher, K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. Richard teaches at his studio, the Yoga Workshop, in Boulder, Colorado, as well as at studios and conferences throughout the world. He also has a video series, Yoga with Richard Freeman, which has inspired many people to take up yoga. He is also a frequent contributor to Yoga Journal.
“[This book contains] everything that I have wanted to say and
everything that I wish I knew that I had wanted to say. Richard
Freeman once again proves that he is superhuman and yet knows
everything about being human and knows how to teach us to draw out
the nectar of life with this evolving art of yoga.”—Rodney Yee
“At last, here is an exposé on the most vital and dynamic themes
relevant to the yoga practice. Richard has the unique and entirely
delightful ability to speak to the intricacies, the paradoxes, the
depths and surfaces that belong to the yoga experience. What a
great boon that Richard should hold up such a clear mirror for all
of us on the yoga path today.”—Tias Little
“Collectively, these essays form an insightful and oftentimes
humorous introduction to the deeper aspects of yoga philosophy,
suitable for both the neophyte and the seasoned practitioner. In
addition to being quite original, imaginative, and at times almost
whimsical, The Mirror of Yoga is also firmly grounded in references
to, and excerpts from, those yogic texts most respected by all
schools of practice.”—Namarupa Magazine Online
“This thoughtful and beautifully written book . . . will take the
average yogi to the next level.”—New Age Retailer
