Book and Recordings Published by Guruji Victor Vyasa Deva Landa
Vyasa created a rich legacy of audio recordings which, taken as a series, provide enough scope to comprise a life-time’s practice. He advised students to strictly follow one hatha yoga routine for 6 months, then move to a new one if needed. While all the recordings include tension relaxation, sun salute, and relaxation, the variety of asanas is impressive. We can rotate through these routines over the years, experiencing an ever-fresh renewal of body, mind and soul, thanks to the profound gifts of Hatha Yoga and the accompaniment of a Master. Books include materials by and about Guruji, as well as re-publications He undertook for his classes.
