Description

A hardback copy of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self by Stephen Cope

Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise and as a potent source of calm in our stress-filled lives. Far fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga as a 4,000-year-old practical path of liberation—a path that fits the needs of modern Western seekers with startling precision. Now Stephen Cope, a Western-trained psychotherapist who has lived and taught for more than ten years at the largest yoga center in America, offers this marvelously lively and irreverent "pilgrim's progress" for today's world. He demystifies the philosophy, psychology, and practice of yoga, and shows how it applies to our most human dilemmas: from loss, disappointment, and addiction, to the eternal conflicts around sex and relationship. And he shows us that in yoga, "liberation" does not require us to leave our everyday lives for some transcendent spiritual plane—life itself is the path. Above all, Cope shows how yoga can heal the suffering of self-estrangement that pervades our society, leading us to a new sense of purpose and to a deeper, more satisfying life in the world.

Additional Information

Thank you for participating in our online auction! All proceeds benefit the Namaspa Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation focused on bringing health and mindfulness practices to those in our society who can benefit from them most, yet who may currently have the least access. Donations help to provide classes in Central Oregon homeless shelters, drug and alcohol rehab facilities, retirement homes, schools and even the local Sheriff's Jail and prison. Please bid generously to help us in empowering individuals in these classes to gain life skills and realize their full potential.

All items are to be picked up from the Namaspa Bend location, 1135 NW Galveston. We will be in contact after the auction with times available for pickup. 

If an item needs to be shipped then the buyer will pay shipping & packaging costs PLUS a $10 service fee (per shipment, which could include several items, within reason). Please note: we are not Amazon or other businesses that ship products as their business. We are a small, local yoga studio. Packing and shipping your item is over and above our daily tasks and would be prohibitively expensive if we had the local Pack & Ship place do it (we checked). If you have a local friend who can pick up your item and ship it to you, that may be more cost effective for you.
