A clear, concise guidebook to the essentials of yogic thought and practice Many people think yoga simply means postures and breathing. Not true. The intention of this short guide is practical and straightforward: to say what yoga really is and to apply its principles to everyday life. It leads us through the eight-limbed system, a coherent framework that has been handed down and elaborated upon for thousands of years and consists of five outer limbs, which pertain to our experience of the social world and the operation of our senses, and three inner limbs, which focus on the mind. Stuart Ray Sarbacker and Kevin Kimple present the eight-limbed system as something that can be turned to again and again to deepen and expand understanding and practice. As an introduction and overview to the essence of yoga, The Eight Limbs of Yoga is unparalleled for clarity, usefulness, and concision.

Terrible print quality
Not a content comment as I’ve not finished it yet but having just gone to start this I’ve found that lots of the pages are kind of double printed and so the text isn’t clear and makes your eyes go funny.

Most excellent summary
A quick read, but deep enough. If you're starting on your path to inner yoga, this is a perfect first book. If not, get it for a friend!

Great introduction!
I'm new to yoga and found this book useful as an introduction with clear writing and good examples. I especially like how the 8 limbs are enumerated in detail and shown to be interrelated. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I wanted examples/photos of asanas, and maybe with suggested routines, based on the original Patanjali sutras. Still, the book is insightful and worth reading.

Mal impreso
El libro venía mal impreso. Imposible de leer, tuve que devolverlo

Theory instead of practice
This book articulates the general guidelines to living the eight lambs of yoga, focussing on an Ashtanga practice, and the benefits of enlightenment while neglecting the practical application of methods useful for attaining this enlightenment.
