Yoga as Pilgrimage

What is yoga? Ancient spiritual practice or modern exercise regime? Or both? Ranju Roy answers these questions by weaving together ancient texts with stories and experiences from his own life. Drawing on thirty years of teaching, studying and practising, he sets out his vision of yoga in a series of modern-day sutras, illuminated by Samkhya philosophy and inspired by Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras. This is then followed by the 'pilgrimage' itself: an inward journey of increasing subtlety. Featuring original paintings by the author, Yoga as Pilgrimage is a wonderful blend of guidebook, fellow-traveller and map across this endlessly fascinating terrain.
