Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Just as no one would argue that gravity applies only to England because Sir Isaac Newton was British or that Einstein's theory of relativity was relevant only in Germany... the principles of yoga are not limited by time or space," say Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and Simon, medical director for the Chopra Center. Their guide is written in such a clear, sensible way that those new to yoga will wonder why they've not tried it before. Seasoned practitioners will find themselves reinvigorated and may learn a new breathing technique or meditation. Starting with descriptions of the two most popular frameworks, Shankara and Patanjali, the authors then list the seven laws of spirituality that neatly correspond to the seven days of the week. Extensive explanations of several types of meditation—chakra, so hum breath technique, awareness, attention/intention—are followed by the most common breathing exercises and thorough instructions for a variety of asanas (poses). Photographs complete the instructional portion of the book, making it especially useful for beginners. The final pages bring the program together with a suggested routine that combines all of the above into a perfect blend of theory and practice.

Review

While most current guides focus on yoga’s asana (physical practice), this concise book emphasizes its spiritual aspects. Chopra (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind) and Simon (medical director, Chopra Ctr.) are both pioneers in the field of holistic health, having mixed Western medicine with natural Eastern hearing traditions.  They lucidly explain the complexities of Vedic science and discuss how to apply its spiritual aspects to a yoga routine. Their overriding message is that if practitioners combine the components of a good yoga practice – breathing, meditation, postures (illustrated with photographs), bandhas (means of breath control), and Chopra’s seven spiritual laws, they are promised physical, emotional, and spiritual rewards. Good for both beginners and advances students, this is an excellent choice for most yoga collections. (Library Journal, July 2004)

Since he began his association with Deepak Chopra, M.D. in the 1980's, Dr. Simon has become one of the nation's foremost authorities on effective and appropriate use of holistic health care practices, specifically Ayurveda- the 5000-year-old healing tradition of India. As CEO and Medical Director of The Chopra Center for Wellbeing at La Costa Resort & Spa, Dr. Simon is dedicated to catalyzing the evolution of the prevailing health care system into a "healing system" that encompasses the emotional, spiritual as well as physical health of the individual

    Dr. Simon's prolific program development, writing, and research are changing the landscape of health care for professionals and consumers, alike. His far-reaching endeavors have resulted in the training of thousands of physicians, nurses, health care providers as well as educators in holistic healing approaches throughout the world.

    David Simon, M.D. is a world-renowned authority in the field of mind-body medicine. As a practicing physician, innovative researcher, and insightful teacher, David continues to expand his vision for an effective and compassionate healthcare system. More than three decades ago as an anthropology student exploring humanity's earliest communities and cultures, he was drawn to the understanding that the role of the doctor was much more than a disease technician; a true healer had to be a diagnostician, medicine man, psychotherapist, and priest - an expert navigator of the mind and spirit as well as the physical body.

    Integrating ancient wisdom healing traditions with modern scientific principles, David has forged a model of health that integrates the multiple dimensions of a human being - environmental, physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. As a board-certified neurologist and expert in Ayurvedic medicine and other traditional healing arts, he brings a unique perspective to the relationship between mind, emotions, and health.

    In 1996, David co-founded and assumed the role of medical director of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, where he continues to serve as the driving force in developing and leading the Center's programs and seminars in mind-body medicine, emotional healing, and spirituality. Recognized as a leading authority in the effective and appropriate use of mind-body medicine practices, his endeavors have resulted in the training of thousands of physicians, nurses, and health care providers. One of the first recipients of a National Institutes of Health grant to study mind-body medical approaches to improving health care, David continues to bring integrated mind-body medical programs to medical institutions, health centers, educational institutions, and health resorts throughout the world.

    David is the popular author of many wellness books, including Return to Wholeness; The Wisdom of Healing; Vital Energy; The Ten Commitments; and Free to Love, Free to Heal. He has co-authored numerous other books with visionary Deepak Chopra, including The Chopra Center Herbal Guide; Grow Younger, Live Longer; Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives; and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga.

    The books Vital Energy; The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga; and Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives each received a Nautilus Book Award. The Ten Commitments was the winner of the 2006 Foreword Award.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga

This book is my all time favorite book on yoga, and one of Deepak's best. I had to order another one because when I loaned this book out last time, I never received it back. Guess it turned out to be one of their favorites too. I had to order another one because I couldn't be without it. This is a great "go to" book. Deepak Chopra explains in simple words the true meaning of yoga. So many of the books I have bought in the past about yoga do not resonate with me at all. Deepak's books, especially this one, resonates to your soul. It touches you. It is easy reading. You can pick it up and almost finish it in one sitting. You won't want to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book of Many Insights
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2007

I chose this book because I was looking for help in returning to my practice of yoga. Deepak Chopra books always provided words of guidance. He did not fail in this attempt. He begins the book with insightful questions to help you find the real "you" and then progresses to explain the different types of yoga practices. But the real value in the book is the section discussing the Seven Spirtual Laws. For me, that alone was worth buying the book.

After many years of practicing yoga I now understand the importance of not forcing the body to obey moves but it is in allowing the inner Self to assist in all of the movements. There is a wonderful section on yoga positions with excellent photos and descriptions of how to attain the pose. Chopra also discusses meditation, how to practice it and methods for success.

This is a book I keep in my workout area and read each day before I begin my sessions. It is not only physically helpful, it is a spiritual inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Chicken Soup -- revisited

I loved the Seven Spiritual Laws when it first came out many years ago. It was my constant companion as I went through some REALLY tough stuff and actually started me on a journey that has changed my life. So naturally the first SSL got a 5 star rating.

This one, for Yoga, was pretty much the same thing with a few upgrades for those of us who are always trying to deepen our practice and for that, I really enjoyed this. PLUS, it was a good reminder to live each day as it comes. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was that so much of the book was a retread of the first book.

Would definitely recommend it -- if you haven't read the first book, or haven't started the journey of cultivating mind, body, and spirit as one -- this might not resonate with you as much. I'll reread portions of it again and again.

Read this while studying and practicing yoga for the first time. Love it so much and still read this to this day when not practicing because the rules listed are basic rules of life written so beautifully that I believe anyone who is keen to connecting to others on a basic human level, can appreciate. Whether you are religious or spiritual or have no beliefs you can connect to the realness of what the author presents to you about what yoga is and how it is best practiced, and overall, the ways in which life can be best lived. It put me at peace in some of my most chaotic times and like books like the four agreements, allowed me to take a step back from the chaos, breathe, and ground myself into reality and the beauties of life. Found when I was googling "best books for practicing yoga" and found that it is so much more than that.

Excellent Book !!! Ordered 1 for myself & 1 for my brother, from 2 Different Sellers, per availability. Bookmarked a page to "pique" his interest to read more, so as to reaffirm his confidence while Navigating Negative People & Their Actions. As I anticipated, he responded w/Renewed Confidence, saying it Confirmed what I've shared w/him through the years, but more like a " Condensed Handbook"! Although I had NEVER Read the Book Before, I was Inspired & Hopeful, after watching Chopra on PBS, because it was like he described my Very "Core" & Culmination of Some of the "Self- Codes" by which I've been guided, most of my life. Happy Beyond Words for such "Affirmation" for both my brother & myself.

This is one of the best books on basic teachings of Yoga and how the Yoga tradition works. Deepak Chopra as always has done an excellent job at his passing on of knowledge of all things Vedanta. The poses contained within are also very beginner friendly and helpful if you're looking to improve your over-all fitness, flexibility and general sense of well being.

Deepak offers a well balanced approach to Yoga in this book.

I would buy this again for someone I know.
