Yoga Beyond Belief integrates scientific and practical approaches into a fresh perspective on this discipline. Based on a lifetime of insights and enlivened by Ganga White’s storytelling skills, this “cross-platform” guide begins by explaining the core principles of the many branches of yoga. This book also sheds light on the inner processes in the physical practices that most produce remarkable results in health and well-being. White shows the pitfalls of regimented systems and offers seasoned advice on how students at any skill level can customize their yoga practice for physical and spiritual transformation. Yoga Beyond Belief concludes by going beyond the physical aspects to the heart of yoga and spirituality. This collection of valuable insights and anecdotes gleaned from a lifetime of exploration, practice, study and teaching will appeal to anyone practicing yoga today.

Early Acclaim for Yoga Beyond Belief...

“This book takes you into the mind of a noted renegade yogi. With humor and disarming honesty, Ganga explains the history and philosophy of yoga, and guides you with his own original and innovative approach to this ancient discipline. Yoga Beyond Belief is a unique, integrative approach to body, mind and spirit. It is practical, inspiring and full of valuable insights to enliven and inform the practice of both beginning and experienced students. I recommend it highly.” -- Andrew Weil, MD

“Yoga Beyond Belief will strike a chord with anyone seeking a new level of awakening and freedom in yoga and in their lives. This book offers a flexible and modern perspective that is needed more than ever to meet and live in these times of accelerating change.” -- Sting

"Ganga has done an outstanding job of illustrating how the authentic tradition of yoga has always involved moving beyond tradition and belief... This is the clear voice of a modern yogi. Ganga is living proof that the real tradition of Yoga is still very much alive and well."
                 --Erich Schiffmann, Author of
                    YOGA: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness

“…a tour de force of deconstructing tradition and making yoga a powerful, exploratory vehicle for modern times.”
                 -- Joel Kramer, Author of The Guru Papers and A Passionate Mind

“Ganga White, a pioneer of yoga in the United States, has produced a wide-ranging work of great sensitivity and eloquence, a guided journey through the world of yoga by a master whose wisdom is matched by his humility—a rare and precious commodity in the modern yoga scene of massive egos, glitz and hype.”  
                 -- David Gordon White, PhD, author of Kiss of the  Yogini: “Tantric Sex” in its
                     South Asian contexts
., Prof. Hinduism, UCSB

“Ganga is the spearhead of a revolutionary evolution in the field of yoga. His endeavor has been: How to retain the old form and put new spirit into it? It also implies: How not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.”  -- Swami Venkatesa

“Yoga Beyond Belief weaves together science, spiritual inquiry, personal stories, and yoga practices into a tapestry that will serve students of self discovery in navigating their own unique path.”  
                 -- Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul ®

“Ganga continues to serve the evolution of Yoga and America, by offering authentic, radical teachings of the yogic process as well as self awakening--supported by great joy and liberation of universal direct experience. Inhale fully! ”  -- Shiva Rea, yoga teacher


Ganga White has been teaching, innovating, and promoting yoga for four decades. The LA Times has referred to him as “the man pretty much responsible for bringing yoga to Los Angeles in 1967.” He and his wife, Tracey Rich, direct the renowned White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA and created the #1 best selling videos, Total Yoga—The Flow Series.
