Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise and as a potent source

of calm in our stress-filled lives. Far fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga

as a 4,000-year-old practical path of liberation-a path that fits the needs of modern

Western seekers with startling precision.

Now Stephen Cope, a Western-trained psychotherapist

who has lived and taught for more than ten years at the largest yoga center in America,

offers this marvelously lively and irreverent ""pilgrim's progress"" for today's world.

He demystifies the philosophy, psychology, and practice of yoga, and shows how it

applies to our most human dilemmas- from loss, disappointment, and addiction, to

the eternal conflicts around sex and relationship. And he shows us that in yoga,

""liberation"" does not require us to leave our everyday lives for some transcendent

spiritual plane-life itself is the path.

Above all, Cope shows how yoga can heal

the suffering of self-estrangement that pervades our society, leading us to a new

sense of purpose and to a deeper, more satisfying life in the world.
