Whether bathing with holy men in the Ganges or joining the chorus of a thousand voices chanting \"om,\" photographer \u003cstrong\u003eMichael O'Neill\u003c\/strong\u003e decided to devote himself to experiencing and recording the world of yoga at this critical juncture in its history. The result is a powerful photographic tribute to the age-old discipline turned \u003cstrong\u003eglobal phenomenon, with over 250 million practitioners united in physical, spiritual, and mindful practice worldwide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Famous for his photographs of the famous, O'Neill first set out to make portraits of the most influential yogis of our time--\u003cstrong\u003eB. K. S. Iyengar, T. K. V. Desikachar, and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa\u003c\/strong\u003e, among others--as well as those known for integrating yoga into their high-profile lives, such as \u003cstrong\u003eDonna Karan, Sting, and Trudie Styler\u003c\/strong\u003e. But as his yoga and meditation practice deepened, so did his drive to look past the personalities and the poses to document the roots of yoga. Over ten years O'Neill trekked beyond the traditional epicenters to meditate with monks in the Tibetan Plateau, live with sadhus in their tents at the Kumbh Mela, and marvel at the boys who practice the little known discipline of Mallakhamba at the wrestling grounds in Kochi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This extraordinary body of work \u003cstrong\u003etells the story of yoga as it's never been told before\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003enearly 200 photographs\u003c\/strong\u003e. Two of O'Neill's most important subjects, meditation master \u003cstrong\u003eHis Holiness Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji \u003c\/strong\u003eand yogi\u003cstrong\u003e Eddie Stern\u003c\/strong\u003e, join the conversation with their essays on the role of yoga in contemporary culture, the history of the practice from the time of Patanjali, and the healing power of \"the architecture of peace,\" a series of postures that bring the practitioner closer to touching the infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46289651007639,"sku":"9783836584876","price":3894.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783836584876.webp?v=1767700377","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/michael-oneill-on-yoga-the-architecture-of-peace-9783836584876","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
