More than 100,000 copies sold!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.

Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science.

In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing.

Hvad indeholder den gode idrætstime?Jeg ved det ikke.Men da min yngste datter stod overfor et forløb iidræt i 9. klasse og var lidt på bar bund, så trådtejeg til med hjælp til et opvarmningsforløb og etpar småspil. Alt sammen hentet fra minhåndboldtræning og fra nogle af de bøger, jeggennem de seneste mange år har skrevet ompraktisk og funktionel håndboldtræning medøvelser til inspiration.Det fik mig til at spekulere på, om jeg ikke skulleprøve at samle nogle af øvelserne fra mine bøger,der måske, efter lidt redigering, kunne bruges sominspiration i idrætsundervisningen generelt? Almengrundtræning og "ikke- idrætsspecifikke" øvelserkan bruges af alle, var min tanke.Før jeg gik i gang, spurgte jeg mig forsigtigt forhos et par idrætslærere, jeg kender, derunderviser i folkeskolen. De synes om ideen.Og så blev denne bog til.Jeg håber, at du kan finde noget, du kan brugeeller lade dig inspirere af - jeg har i hvert fald gjortet forsøg.

In The Subtle Body, Stefanie Syman tells the surprising story of yoga's transformation from a centuries-old spiritual discipline to a multibillion-dollar American industry. Yoga's history in America is longer and richer than even its most devoted practitioners realize. It was present in Emerson's New England, and by the turn of the twentieth century it was fashionable among the leisure class. And yet when Americans first learned about yoga, what they learned was that it was a dangerous, alien practice that would corrupt body and soul. A century later, you can find yoga in gyms, malls, and even hospitals, and the arrival of a yoga studio in a neighborhood is a signal of cosmopolitanism. How did it happen? It did so, Stefanie Syman explains, through a succession of charismatic yoga teachers, who risked charges of charlatanism as they promoted yoga in America, and through generations of yoga students, who were deemed unbalanced or even insane for their efforts. The Subtle Body tells the stories of these people, including Henry David Thoreau, Pierre A. Bernard, Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Christopher Isherwood, Sally Kempton, and Indra Devi. From New England, the book moves to New York City and its new suburbs between the wars, to colonial India, to postwar Los Angeles, to Haight-Ashbury in its heyday, and back to New York City post-9/11. In vivid chapters, it takes in celebrities from Gloria Swanson and George Harrison to Christy Turlington and Madonna. And it offers a fresh view of American society, showing how a seemingly arcane and foreign practice is as deeply rooted here as baseball or ballet. This epic account of yoga's rise is absorbing and often inspiring-a major contribution to our understanding of our society.
