Tibetan Yoga

The book presents Tibetan yoga as a hidden treasure of the Tibetan Tantric Buddhist tradition, a practice of both spirit and body that seeks a broader range of human ability and awareness. Ian A. Baker introduces its main ideas and methods step by step: meditation, visualization, work with breath and body, and lesser known elements such as sexual yoga, dream yoga or lucid dreaming, and techniques helped by psychoactive plants or minerals. The book draws on current scientific research and on contemplative and humanitarian traditions, and it brings together ethnographic photographs, Himalayan art and pictures from old instruction manuals.
