No Teaching Yoga

Font size:
No Teaching Yoga, part memoir, part practice, part personal narrative, introduces us to Melissa Forbes, yoga practitioner, educator, and artist and her journey to experience “true yoga.”
She reviews the roots of the practice of yoga, from the pre-classical to the modern period of today, and shares with us her own yoga pilgrimage around the world, exploring her time with UG Krishnamurti, a yoga master who had been declared a Jivamukti, a liberated being, who gave her glimpses of her Divine Nature and prepared her to embrace the practice of spontaneous yoga.
She challenges us to move beyond the popular Western perception of yoga as a fitness program and embrace the return to the original primary goal of yoga as oneness of self with cosmic consciousness.
Central to the book are the Miracle Combinations, eight new practices gleaned from her years of study and personal reflection, adorned with Melissa's intricate and jewel-like paintings of yantras in a Vedic square integrated with the Mayan teaching of Light Language (sacred geometry).
Miracle Grace from No Teaching Yoga
These practices unite the tangible physical elements of yoga with feet (stances), hands (mudras), and breath with the intangible spiritual of vibrating yantras, the Divine Heart Original Nature, and ineffable awareness to invite deep contemplation.
Melissa Forbes leads us to the practice of no practice, into the miracle of spontaneous yoga. The Miracle Combinations are designed to serve, assist and lead us to finding our own way into the true experience of yoga.
No Teaching Yoga will help you evolve into your own effortless combinations, and to create miracles of internal peace and power in your life experiences.

Such a Beautiful book and wonderful comments today! Who is the Goddess / what is the name of the Yantra on the front of the book? I like her alot.
So glad to hear about simple and easy Yoga! Will definitely get the book.
(Note from Gather Insight...the cover yantra is Tripur Bhairavi in the Vedic square)
thank you so much Melissa
The book sounds wonderful and will really help people to get back to the roots of what yoga really is, a spiritual practice rather than a fitness programme. It's the first time I have seen the beautiful yantras you paint too! It was a privilege to join you at times in your journey as you brought this project to fruition. Thankyou!
