Reading List: Yoga Beyond Belief By Ganga White

I read this book a few months ago, and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the philosophy and practice of yoga and meditation. This book examines topics from the different disciplines of yoga, breath work technique's, energy movements, injury healing, and meditation practices.

This is a great book to read straight through or to pick and choose by topics. This book made me very excited about my meditation practice, and encouraged me to expand my awareness on and off my yoga mat.

This book opens with a quote that Ganga White gave during a Rainforest Benefit in New York City (April 1998). It begins;

What if...

What if out religion was each other

If our practice was our life

If prayer, our words

What if the temple was the earth

If forests were our church

If holy water-the rivers, lakes, and oceans

What if meditation was our relationships

If the Teacher was life

If wisdom was self-knowledge

If love was the center of our being.

-Ganga White
