What is Yoga? How can I, as a Westerner, be part of this 5,000- year-old Yoga tradition and lineage? How can the teachings of Yoga help bring the best out in people and enable us to cope better with today's global and climate challenges? This short but comprehensive book offers all practitioners of Yoga a way to step into this ancient tradition with full awareness and appreciation of its teachings, practices, and sacred texts. Despite the misleading image of Yoga one can find on social media, Yoga is more than physical exercises. It is accessible to all. It does not require any sophisticated equipment nor special clothing and can be practiced anywhere, anytime or age. The book demonstrates how Yoga - through the practice of peace, wisdom, inner balance, and freedom - is a path of self and collective transformation, leading to a change of consciousness that is necessary to solve the challenges the world is facing.
