Yoga and the Jesus Prayer Tradition An Experiment in Faith

This book is a careful examination of the relation between tantric yoga and hesychasm. By focusing on the experiences of St.Symeon the New Theologian and the tantric yogis, the author grapples with the question: “Can the practice of yoga lead to an experience which is truly Christian?” Based on the author’s own journey from yoga to Christ, this book will be an aid to all those who wish to incorporate the insights of the yogic and hesychastic traditions in a life of faith today.
