Deep Yoga, Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times, is a collection of essays on the healing and spiritual powers of Yoga and Ayurveda and their relevance for our modern times. Each chapter contains wisdom from these sacred science and practical tips and tools for applying this wisdom to your daily life. In our modern, fast-paced culture, dominated by mass-media, distraction and superficiality, stress has become epidemic. Modern medical science has come to realize that this stress is at the root of a majority of the physical and mental illnesses that plague our society. Yoga and Ayurveda offer a pathway to deep relaxation and inner-awareness. This leads to connecting with the intrinsic power we all have to self-heal… a power from which we have largely been disenfranchised. As the great sage, Dr. David Frawley, notes in his introduction to this book, “Yoga and Ayurveda together show us how to achieve health, happiness, and well-being on all levels of our lives. Bhava Ram is one of the most dynamic teachers of Yoga and Ayurveda today. Bhava himself was reborn in the fire of disease… and has the wisdom from the other side, as it were, from one who is not attached to the ordinary things of this world. Bhava will show you the deeper dimensions of Yoga and inner healing that he himself has worked through in his own vast array of life-experience. The journalist/news reporter base he comes from has been transformed into a calm spiritual teacher, helpful friend, and compassionate guide for all who come to see him.” See all Editorial Reviews

One of the greatest ancient texts of yoga is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Here in this book the focus is on the centrepiece of Patanjali’s work known as Ashtanga, the Eight Limbs of Yoga. The Ashtanga system is articulated in the Sadhana Pada.

It provides a blue-print for living a conscious life, engendering personal transformation and ultimately experiencing self-realization. It is not the only system in Yoga. There are many different pathways and techniques in this sacred science.

The limbs do, however, give us great guidance and insight into the heart of Yogic practice and philosophy, while offering us the opportunity to grow, heal and thrive. They are synergistic and as we weave them into our lives there arises a tapestry of spiritual awakening.

Patanjali’s Ashtanga provides a proven and time-tested pathway for this self-extraction, like a prescription from the Divine for what ails us in body, mind and soul.

In exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the author delves into how relevant this ancient system is for our modern times, and provides observations and, most importantly, practices to help you embody, live and benefit from this wisdom.

The author provides both a modern perspective on the Sutras and a series of practices to bring them into your everyday life.
