a book by Stephen Cope

wisdom of yoga book cover

The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker’s Guide to Extraordinary Living, written by Stephen Cope, investigates the sophisticated wisdom tradition of yoga from the point of view of six contemporary characters—modern yogis struggling with issues of love, work, addictions, careers, and unfulfilled longings of many varieties. Each chapter weaves together narrative story and expository teachings to bring alive the rich, and very relevant, applications of yoga’s ancient teachings. Stephen is a senior Kripalu Yoga teacher, author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, and the Director of the Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living.
