Yoga: A Many Splendorous Path
Reference Alternative Health Yoga Wellness Chakra Studies Mindfulness & Meditation Tantra
Yoga: A Many Splendorous Path by Elise Everarda is the 2007 illustrated paperback that yogis keep on the mat-side shelf. Written in clear, encouraging prose for young-adult and adult seekers, the book maps the full terrain of yoga—not just the familiar postures but the chakra system, tantric subtle-body science, breath-work, mantra and meditation—showing how each strand weaves into a single “many-splendored” journey toward mental clarity and vibrant health. Readers searching for a non-dogmatic, East-meets-West reference find here a practical textbook that doubles as an inspiring wellness guide.
What sets this volume apart is Everarda’s rare ability to blend scholarly depth with studio-ready instruction. Every chapter pairs concise anatomy lessons with beautifully rendered drawings of muscles, nadis and chakras, so students understand exactly why a hip opener affects the second chakra or how alternate-nostril breathing balances the hemispheres of the brain. The result is a leisure read that still satisfies serious teacher-training requirements—perfect for home practitioners, yoga-teacher trainees and therapists looking for a single-source reference on alternative therapies.
Collectors value this first English-language edition (Asian Affection, 2007, ISBN 9789810594541) for its out-of-print status and the way its generous full-page illustrations anticipate the modern wave of mindful coloring books. This particular copy is in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-ears, tight spine, and stored in a smoke-free environment—ideal for gifting or shelf display. Whether you are rebuilding a personal wellness library, hunting for a comprehensive chakra-and-tantra primer, or simply want a beautifully illustrated guide that will still look pristine after years of practice, Yoga: A Many Splendorous Path delivers enduring inspiration on every page.
