Breathing the World: Yoga, Journeys, the Body as Teacher is the story of the author’s exploration of the world during her earlier years, particularly in the Amazon rainforest and in Asia, and the path of inner awareness she embarked upon, beyond linear time, from that moment on: the journey as a way to self-discovery in her encounter with other cultures, with nature and with psychotropic plants like Ayahuasca, and her journey into Yoga guided by the breath.The book describes a Yoga practice showing how each and every one of us can establish a personal and productive relationship with Yoga, adapting its basic principles to one’s own individual nature and learning to decipher the messages which the body’s intelligence sends to the conscious mind.The book is addressed not only to readers who have direct experience of Yoga and who wish to explore some of its aspects further, but also to those who may be intrigued by some of the themes emerging from the author’s original and inclusive approach to the subject.
