Yoga, B*tch

Yoga is not a fitness class. It is a 5,000-year-old science of liberation — and it is time you
knew what it actually is. YOGA, B*TCH strips away the Instagram aesthetics and the $200
leggings and gets to the truth: yoga is a complete system for transforming the human body,
mind, and consciousness, documented in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Hatha Yoga
Pradipika, the Gheranda Samhita, and hundreds of other texts that most yoga teachers
have never read.
Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola — founder of ShivaUniversity.com — presents yoga as it was
actually taught: as a sacred science with eight limbs (Ashtanga), not just the physical
postures (asanas) that represent only one of those eight limbs. This book covers the full
path from Yama and Niyama (ethical foundations) through Samadhi (liberation) — with the
historical documentation to prove that every practice described here has been
continuously verified for thousands of years.
If you are ready for the real yoga — not the watered-down version — this book is for you.
