"Here is an authentic portrayal of a rich and complex spiritual tradition of India. The over two thousand entries cover Yoga's history, its many approaches, schools, teachers, scriptures, as well as its technical terminology. The book is arranged and written in a manner that will inform rather than overwhelm the lay reader, while at the same time offering valuable references for the professional researcher and the historian of religion. "

"This book is like a World Almanac of Yoga. If you've ever wondered about the names of all the gods and godesses, the meanings of esoteric terms or names of texts you may have come across or the teacher's that started the various schools of yoga and you want an easy way to find out a bit of their history this book is for you. It is both comprehensive and accessible. There are over 2,000 entires covering all aspects of yoga philosophy and traditions, and the explanations are easily understood by most readers, while references are given for those who wish to dig deeper."
