Who this is
“The most famous "yoga book" on earth contains exactly one sentence about posture — and 194 about attention, suffering, and the architecture of the mind.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Your thoughts are not you. The mind is an instrument that can be trained, stilled, and mastered — and behind its churning sits a silent witness that was never disturbed at all.”
