More Praise
“It’s exciting and rare for me to come upon a modern day writing that offers a fresh light, and breathes new life, into the ancient teachings of yoga. Rama’s offering, Yoga: The Practice of Myth and Sacred Geometry, is one such book. Rama writes with the authoritative autonomy of one who has truly traversed the entire breadth and depth of yoga, from marketplace to mountaintop and back again. Rama offers us timeless wisdom derived from her years of study, practice, devotion, and sitting with her many gifted teachers. She offers us sage advice and timeless wisdom that is at once practical, philosophical, and heartfelt, delivered with passion and appeal from page to page and chapter to chapter. I take great delight in knowing that I will be sharing Rama’s book with my yoga friends and students for years to come, providing them with, as I have found, a treasure trove of sacred teachings that enables us to find equanimity no matter our circumstances.”

“Rama Jyoti Vernon has been a pioneer in bringing yoga to America and has inspired my own practice in innumerable ways. Her heart-centered wisdom as a teacher of teachers and of hundreds of thousands of students around the globe shines through in this book. Not only does Rama's understanding of the biodynamics of asana and breath make this a must read for everyone who aspires to serve others through the teaching of yoga, but the great value and humility she brings to the calling of yoga teacher--as "servant or fellow seeker," lights the path through the darkness for countless fellow seekers, me included.”

“Rama Jyoti Vernon unfolds the profound mystery of the practice of yoga while guiding the reader with practical skill. As the practitioner journeys through this book, they will experience the true sense of the word myth that will manifest as the sacred geometry of the body, mind, and consciousness.”

“Rama floated into my life in 1992 with a “presence of Self,” immediately touching my heart. Rama makes a difference in the world through teaching and living yoga! When she teaches, an asana becomes a dance of story, philosophy, subtle body knowledge and basic safety. She interweaves the essence that makes yoga alive. In this unique asana book, Rama imparts this soul of yoga. In Yoga: The Practice of Myth and Sacred Geometry, she shares the precision of yoga practices through merging the stories behind the practices and marries the practice with the heart of yoga. The practitioner learns to explore yogasana on the mat and in the world. Rama has been my guiding light, and now she offers, in a very accessible format, the spirit and the depth of yoga.”

"Rama Jyoti Vernon has captured the essence of her teaching in her new book, Yoga: The Practice of Myth and Sacred Geometry, which shows us to the true meaning of Yoga. Rama’s book guides us to do the poses more deeply following the breath inside and gives us a valuable overview of practical Yoga Philosophy applied to life and the mind’s fluctuations. Rama gives easy-to-understand descriptions, helpful alignment strategies, and instructional photos. This is a book that I will read, treasure, and go back to often as a valuable resource for my own practice and teaching."
