Heart Yoga: The Sacred Marriage of Yoga and Mysticism is the 2010 paperback that yogis and spiritual seekers keep on their night-stand long after the first read. In 280 generously-sized pages (9¼" x 7") Andrew Harvey’s fiery mystic prose and Karuna Erickson’s gentle yoga guidance fuse into a single practice that unites breath, body, and ecstatic devotion. Instead of treating yoga as mere exercise, the authors reveal how every pose becomes a prayer and every inhalation a doorway to divine love, making this the go-to manual for anyone who wants asana to feel like sacred ritual rather than a gym routine.

What makes this copy special is its immaculate, smoke-free interior—only one dog-eared page interrupts an otherwise crisp, clean text that looks unread. At under a pound it travels easily to studio, retreat, or living-room altar, and the wide margins leave room for journaling insights as the heart opens. Readers repeatedly credit the book with reigniting stalled practices, healing grief, and sparking off-the-mat creativity, so a gently-used copy in this condition is snapped up quickly in the secondary market.

Collectors value the first-edition North Atlantic Books layout with its spacious photographs and step-by-step Heart Yoga sequences that weave Hanuman, Tara, and Christ-consciousness into a single transformative path. Whether you are a young adult beginning your journey or an experienced teacher searching for authentic mystical depth to share with students, this affordable used edition delivers a lifetime of practice between two covers—no missing plates, no underlining, just one corner turned by a fellow seeker who couldn’t wait to return to the page.
