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

Barbara, CA and created the #1 best selling videos, Total
Yoga—The Flow Series.
