Inside Yoga is a journey within the world of yoga and within the life of a yoga practitioner. It is a photographic journey and a poetic journey. A journey through questions and a journey through symbols. The Asanas, the Yoga positions, besides being exercises that help mind and body find balance, energy, harmony and health, also represent philosophical ideas. Within the yoga exercises we can find deep archetypal feelings and spiritual knowledge, and sometimes this knowledge can be realised even simply by the observation of the asanas, if we use the right eyes. In this book, we played with pictures and words to let the reader enter the yoga dimension in an intuitive way without forcing concepts or without indulging in clichés that are too often repeated in yoga classes and in yoga books. Inside Yoga is an immersion into a state of mind, in an atmosphere. Together with the Norwegian photographer Erlend Reiersen, we used cameras, lights, and landscapes to communicate the yoga experience bypassing the analytical filters of the mind. Using the camera like a Zen calligrapher would use a brush, creating dialogues and playful Koans, both hermetic and candid. The first chapters of the book offer also an easily approachable introduction to the roots of yoga from a historical and philosophical point of view. And the reader can find also practical tips about how to perform safely the asanas, how to breathe correctly, and how to choose the right food for his or her body constitution (ayurvedic diet).
