Yoga FAQ

“Richard Rosen is one of the most thoughtful, generous, funny, humble, and researched fellas that I know. Yoga FAQ is a testimony to Richard’s character as a man and diligence as a yogi. The content is for anyone that is not satisfied with being a blind follower.  Richard has done the research and held the debates to debunk unsubstantiated yoga myths that we deem as fact.  His curiosity and not being satisfied with superficiality has brought us a text that will leave many of us scratching our heads and maybe even feeling a little defensive as our beliefs are being tested. This is important stuff for anyone that craves to see what is below the surface of the yogic teachings. If we keep asking the questions, maybe we might get a glimpse of how these practices can bring about true happiness?”—Colleen Saidman, author of Yoga for Life
 
“Richard Rosen has crafted a delightful book that equally showcases both his academic knowledge about yoga and his gentle sense of humor. Yoga FAQ is a clear resource that helps us to formulate and understand our big questions about yoga and spiritual practice. I felt as if I was tucking into the personal story of Mr. Rosen’s own journey studying yoga—and the trip was intriguing and fun. Highly recommended for all levels of students and especially for yoga teachers.”—Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, author of Relax and Renew and Yoga Body

“Richard Rosen is one of the wisest, warmest, and funniest writers I know, as well as being one of the most skilled and learned yoga teachers in America. In this book he brings all of those qualities to bear on some of the topics that routinely confuse students of yoga, new and old. A great service.”—Mark Singleton, author of Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice and Roots of Yoga
