Book Description
Yoga is much more than just a workout. It's a combination of components that can transform your health on many different levels. The lectures in this book were delivered at the 32nd Anniversary of the Theosophical Society held at Benares, India in 1907, and they are intended to give the reader an outline of Yoga. These lectures forms the basis for a deeper study of the teaching of Yoga in general, containing the essentials to be considered throughout the different stages of living and practice. The author, Annie Wood Besant (1847-1933) - was a British writer and activist. President of the Theosophical Society, she was also involved in the cause of women's rights. "An Introduction to Yoga" was the way in which she presented the idea of Yoga to western public in 1908. This book addresses the following topics and many of these were passed on from ancient works. - The Nature of Yoga - What is consciousness and Divinity? - Yoga as one of the six Indian schools of Philosophy. - Yoga as an applied science. - The practice of yoga. (Not exactly as it's practiced today) - Discussion on diet, purifying of the body, concentration and meditation. - The 4 states of consciousness and the 5 stages of the mind. - The 3 gunas, the 5 functions of pain, and the 7 obstacles to yogic progress. Please note - as this book was written in early 19th century English, its readability is tolerable-taking into context the complex concepts under discussion. This book will be a great read to all interested in Yoga as a philosophy and is NOT intended to learn the reader yoga poses at home.

Book Description
Annie Wood was born in 1847 in London into an upper middle-class family. She was the daughter of William Burton Persse Wood (1816-1852) and Emily Roche Morris (died 1874). The Woods originated from Devon and her great-uncle was the Whig politician Sir Matthew Wood, 1st Baronet from whom derives the Page Wood baronets. Her father was an Englishman who lived in Dublin and attained a medical degree, having attended Trinity College Dublin. Her mother was an Irish Catholic, from a family of more modest means. Besant would go on to make much of her Irish ancestry and supported the cause of Irish self-rule throughout her adult life. Her cousin Kitty O'Shea (born Katharine Wood) was noted for having an affair with Charles Stewart Parnell, leading to his downfall. Her father died when she was five years old, leaving the family almost penniless. Her mother supported the family by running a boarding house for boys at Harrow School. However, she was unable to support Annie and persuaded her friend Ellen Marryat to care for her. Marryat made sure that she had a good education. Annie was given a strong sense of duty to society and an equally strong sense of what independent women could achieve. As a young woman, she was also able to travel widely in Europe. There she acquired a taste for Roman Catholic colour and ceremony that never left her.
