In the 1980s author Michael Lee discovered, while doing yoga, that he gained great insight and awareness about himself and life. It was as though his body was a port of entry to a deeper level of awareness.

He was transformed physically, mentally and spiritually. Wanting to help others gain from his experiences, he founded the Phoenix-Rising Yoga Therapy program, named after the mythical bird that burns itself on the funeral pyre and rises from the ashes transformed.In the East, the discipline of yoga has long been viewed as a way to not only strengthen the body, but also as a means to heal the mind and to experience spiritual awareness and growth.

Here Michael Lee explores the mind/body/spirit dynamics of yoga and shows readers -- through illustrative case studies, photos and his own experiences -- how and why this is such a powerful method for personal transformation.

While there are many yoga books on the market today, little has been written about yoga as a personal-growth tool. Phoenix-Rising Yoga will show readers how to use this unique blend of yoga and psychology to bridge the gap between body and soul.
