For the first time in recent history, the disciplines of yoga and astrology are intertwined, allowing readers to draw on the energies of the various sun signs and planets through specific yoga postures. Even experienced yoga practitioners will find new meaning in pursuit of this book's goal: discovering and empowering the self. Most books on yoga emphasize its physical, mental and spiritual benefits in general terms. The Lotus and the Stars applies the tools of both yoga and astrology directly to personal situations. What Rob and Trish MacGregor have done, in essence, is to create a length and complexity according to the needs of the individual. A whole system is set forth, which, once it's learned, enables the reader to create his or her own workout and alter it as his or her needs change. The book looks at the virtues and the challenges that are attached to each sun sign, and recommends a yoga regimen for each. It doesn't mean that you necessarily have to do the Aquarius yoga because you were born in January, but rather that if you feel the need for courage, you can do a workout that falls under Aries, because fearlessness is a characteristic of that sign.

Astrology & Yoga-Great Combination,
By Cherie A Carson (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lotus and The Stars : The Way of Astro-Yoga (Paperback)
The Lotus and the Stars, written by Rob and Trish MacGregor, is a fabulous book for beginner yoga students who want more out of yoga as well as experienced students who are interested in deepening their personal practice. The book is well written and gives lots of examples of how to do the postures. I love the concept of how to physically connect the inherent energies that are unique to particular sun signs into a yoga practice. The book also offers suggestions to ways of handling everyday problems and situations. The idea of connecting astrology with yoga is great-I can't believe that it hasn't been thought of before!
5.0 out of 5 stars

I love this book! I have bought it twice since my first copy was lost. I am a yoga instuctor and have been designing my classes astrologically since 2001. I have studied astrology since I was a kid and having an instruction manual that combines my two great loves; astrology & yoga, is absolute heaven!
