The Sacred Science of Yoga & The Five Koshas

This is such a powerful read and has helped teach me so much about the real history of yoga practices. It resonated so much that I believe I was meant to read this book.

Keeping a simple style, the author managed to transmit the true essence of yoga. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an introduction and a general review of what Yoga is all about.

Short, sweet, well written and organized. Before purchasing it I noticed a few low-star reviews where people had bad things to say about it, but after reading this book I am certain those individuals are suffering from ego bias and Guru worship. Thank you for explaining the Kosha system so succinctly, Chris! -Slainte!

So far I'm truly enjoying this book. Its easy to read and insightful.

Incredible book that is more than a look into the koshas, but a great tie in to yoga. This book is a must read if you're interested in an introspective approach!

perfect condition

I was searching for a book about the koshas for quite some time, something accessible yet complex enough to recommend to my yoga students, when I came across "The Five Koshas" by Christopher Sartain. In a small format, easy to read, loaded with pertinent information, the book exceeded my expectations. The author explains clearly the concept of kosha and the multi-layered structure of the energetic body. Each kosha is presented concisely, yet the information provided suffices for clarity and depth over the subject. The author shares about his background and personal experience, making it easy for the reader to relate.I highly recommend the book to all those interested in gaining a new perspective on the human nature as well as to those who want to deepen their knowledge about the koshas.

I had purchased this book, hoping to get an even deeper understanding of the Pancha Kosha model, That was not what I got. The information was an adequate at best dying together a bunch of desperate Pieces of information some of it accurate some of it Not accurate. This is clearly written by a western or piecing together western information and Attributing it to ancient text.

rated highly as this was an easily read and understood book - thorough explanations etc well worth a read for anyone interested in yoga etc

Brilliant ! All you need to know about Pancha Kosha is in this short book.Useful reading for serious yogis.

Ought to have been edited thoroughly before printing. Not enough info on koshas. Disappointed.
