Numbers play a meaningful role in the philosophy of many spiritual traditions—and yoga is no exception. For example, the number one is the quintessential yoga number, representing “unity” and “wholeness”; number two sometimes stands for co-operative effort, and other times for conflict; and number four is the number of completeness or stability, as it “stands” on “four legs.” There are twelve different names for the mantra OM, each one revealing a different aspect of this root sound.With his distinctive blend of knowledge and humor, Richard Rosen unpacks the fascinating significance that numbers hold in the philosophy and practice of yoga. Stories and practices woven throughout—like the Eka Danta simple meditation exercise, which concentrates on "one pointedness" and is associated with the one tusk of Ganesh—offer readers a hands-on way to explore the importance of numbers in their own practice. Yoga by the Numbers will enlighten and entertain the yogi in your life.

Rosen skillfully puts forward an array of awareness disciplines, breathing practices, mudras, and seals, interspersed with anecdotes and quotes from ancient texts.A free audio program available online offers a variety of guided practices so that listeners can create their own pranayama series, with guidance from the author in the appendix.

Na osudech tří židovských dívek – z Polska, Holandska a Francie – autor otevírá téma židovských dětí, které přežily druhou světovou válku v úkrytech. Dočteme se o polské Židovce Sophii, které spolu s její matkou zařídil jejich otec falešné doklady a rodné listy prokazující křesťanský původ. Sám krátce poté zmizel a rodina o něm už nikdy neslyšela; matka tak s malou Sophií zůstala sama a v neustálém strachu z prozrazení přežily celou válku. Díky tomu, že hovořila německy, pracovala jako písařka u místního SS důstojníka, který ani netušil, že zaměstnává Židovku. Malou Floru odložila matka nejprve do kláštera, a když i tento úkryt začal být příliš nebezpečný, putovala holčička do bezdětné rodiny francouzsko-švédských manželů, kteří byli chráněni švédskou ambasádou. Malou Carlu zase spolu s její matkou ukrýval holandský holič. Kniha se věnuje i tematice vlivu dětských traumat na život v dospělosti obecně: v kariéře, navazování vztahů, ale i v psychické vyrovnanosti a povědomí o vlastních kořenech.
