Dancing the flame of life - Dona Holleman (Book + CD)

In this essential book, Dona Holleman blends her unique philosophy of yoga with substantial and detailed descriptions of the asanas, first included in the classic volume 'Dancing the Body of Light'. Drawing from over 50 years of experience in yoga practice and teaching, Dona's ambitious and uncompromising book is a must for all serious yoga practitioners and teachers. Includes 'Flame of Freedom', a 5-part audio CD of Dona Holleman talking about peripheral vision and hearing, breathing and other topics complementing the book, including practical exercises. Dona Holleman started studying Oriental philosophy at the age of 12 while living on the island of Java. Her main focus was Buddhism and Taoism, but since a very early age her real interest has been the mystery of the body. Thus, when she came in contact with yoga in the 50s, it immediatly became her main path. In the mid 60s she met and studied with BKS Iyengar, and has since spent the last 40 years exploring the various aspects of yoga in her own practice and teaching. Her belief is that the final answer lies within the body, and that each human being has to find this for him or herself alone, guided by the inner light and teacher which is in each of us.
