Atheist Yoga - Kindle Non-Fiction

Atheist Yoga 
by Anton Drake 

Atheist Yoga is a provocative and mind-bending book that makes the case for yoga's total compatibility with atheism while offering an expert analysis of the finer points of yogic technique. It takes a close look at the art of yoga and its practical application, and delves deeply into such esoteric topics as hatha yoga, meditation, Kundalini yoga, pranayama, tantric yoga, Samkhya, sexual yoga, tantric sex, kumbhaka, pratyahara, yogic trances, and the practice of asana. From a rational viewpoint based in scientific materialism and realism, it seeks to decode and illuminate some of the ancient secrets of yoga into a very readable and fun package that readers will find highly accessible and enjoyable on multiple levels.
 
This nonfiction book, which features in-depth chapters on advanced meditation technique, the core principles of hatha yoga, sexual yoga, and the psychology of Kundalini yoga and the chakras is also interspersed with five "interlude" chapters, drawn from real life, in which the author and an expert yogini engage in a far-ranging discussion about yoga and atheism, further deepening the exposition and analysis while adding color and real world substance to the material.
 
Atheist Yoga is sure to be a thought-provoking and enjoyable read for those who are interested in the advanced practice of hatha yoga and meditation. It delves deeply into the art of dhyana or meditation, carefully explaining key elements of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and drawing from Freud, Jung and Lacan to connect the practice of yogic introspection and concentration to the exploration and gradual awakening of the unconscious mind. The book also closely examines the unconscious symbolism of Kundalini and the chakras as it relates to personal development and progress in meditation, and describes some highly effective techniques for generating yoga trances and meditative ecstasy; it also features a very clear-eyed discussion of sexual yoga and describes some genuine sexual yoga techniques that can be easily learned and effectively applied. Through it all, Atheist Yoga makes the case that yogic meditation is much easier and far more real when the idea of a Supreme Being no longer separates the meditator and his or her own individual self.
