The Yoga Tradition: It’s History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice
by Georg Feuerstein
In honor of International Day of Yoga — June 21
Each year on June 21, people around the world come together to celebrate the International Day of Yoga, a global recognition of yoga’s ancient wisdom and its power to foster unity, peace, and well-being. This year’s theme, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,” emphasizes the deep connection between personal wellness and the health of our planet—a timely reminder of yoga’s holistic vision.
In honor of this day, we’re featuring The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice by Georg Feuerstein, one of the world’s foremost authorities on yoga. With a foreword by Ken Wilber, this landmark work is more than a book—it’s an essential guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of yoga beyond the mat.
Feuerstein’s comprehensive study spans the vast landscape of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jaina yoga traditions, blending scholarly rigor with spiritual insight. From foundational texts to lesser-known treatises—twenty of which are translated here—The Yoga Tradition is a treasure trove for students, practitioners, and teachers alike.
As we reflect on yoga’s rich legacy and its role in creating a healthier, more connected world, this book stands as a profound resource and inspiration.
