Hatha Yoga: The Hidden Language takes the study and practice of Hatha Yoga far beyond a series of physical exercises. Building on the classical foundations of an ancient tradition, Swami Radha has brilliantly synthesized the wisdom of the yogic rishis with an understanding of the mind as developed in the West by Transpersonal Psychology. Working with the tools of metaphor and symbolism, imagery and visualization, Swami Radha guides students toward a deeper understanding not only of Hatha Yoga, but also of their own purpose in life. For the serious student of Yoga, this book is a breakthrough.
