How to Awaken Your Subtle Body
and the Healing Power of Yoga
by Peter Sterios
The number of yoga books available today is staggering, and it can be difficult to decide where to invest our time and money. Based on my 40 years of study, I can say without reservation that Gravity and Grace will
reward your investment many times over. The subtitle—How to Awaken Your Subtle Body and the Healing Power of Yoga—tells us the book’s main focus is on the mysterious subtle realm of our current incarnation. What it doesn’t tell is the expert way Sterios transforms the traditional teaching—such as on the channels (nadis), “winds” or pranas (vayus), and “wheels” (cakras)—into a body of knowledge and practical instruction completely relevant and accessible to modern Western students. He does this, remarkably, while still respecting the tradition’s spirit, and so provides us with the best of both worlds. This is one of those rare books that belongs in the library of every serious student, no matter her/his experience or favored school.
