The following article, written for Ekhart Yoga by one of my wonderful teachers Tracey Cook, discusses moving beyond the physical practice of yoga into the more “subtle layers” of our existence. Tracey explores these layers, as described in the ancient yogic texts – the RaÌ„ja Yoga SuÌ„tras of Patañjali, and the UpanisÌ£ads – and also brings her own experience and understanding of them to her readers.
“Your deepening awareness of these [layers] can evoke an expansion of yoga practice on all levels, and point the way to a profound Truth which resides within us all – the Self.”
