Introduction of Amrit Desai by Deepak Chopra:
" For 40 years Yogi Amrit Desai has shared his knowledge of yoga in the west. Yogi Desai is both a pioneer in introducing yoga to the west, but more significantly through his unique style, his method of teaching draws upon the original spiritual depth that is missing in the popular practice of Hatha Yoga.
Yogi Desai's spiritual odyssey began during a spontaneous awakening in 1971. It shattered his old model of yoga and infused him with new insights. From this experience he developed a spiritual dimension in the practice of yoga postures, incorporating the element of meditation in motion. Meditation in motion is a methodology that has altered the popular connotation of yoga as a physical discipline. Meditation in motion transforms the philosophy of yoga as integration of body, mind, heart and spirit into an experiential reality. To achieve this Yogi Desai introduced authentic core principles, techniques and tools to help even the novice student enter the deepest levels of relaxation, tranquility and stillness crossing the boundaries of mental and emotional bodies though the physical body promotes not only healing and therapeutic value it greatly enhances the spiritual impact of yoga. Meditation in motion creates a direct link to the integrative power of yoga, an experience in harmony of body, mind, heart and soul occurs spontaneously and effortlessly when you are connected to the higher source of unity consciousness within you. This experience opens new channels to unleash healing prana that activates the higher centers, the chakras of consciousness. Practicing authentic yoga guides you into systematically crossing boundaries and releasing blocked channels that are held in the physical, mental and emotional bodies. You will spontaneously develop links to the infinite source of healing power, strength and courage as you move toward consciousness."
