The Art of Yoga

by Sharon Gannon, David Life, Martin Brading (Photographs)

The Art of Yoga presents stunning images that capture more than 100 asanas, the physical postures in yoga practice, as exhibited by two of the world's best-known and most-respected teachers of the discipline. The culmination of a ten-year collaboration by Sharon Gannon and David Life with noted British-born photographer Martin Brading, each of the magnificent black-and-white images captures the physical intricacy of a position. Brief excerpts from ancient Sanskrit texts, together with the authors' commentary, crystallize each posture's spiritual essence. This lavish volume, which presents 150 duotone photographs printed on museum-quality art stock, will hold pride of place in the collection of any yoga practitioner or lover of fine photography.
