After many years, I picked up Yoga and Mantra by Loretta Zanuccoli again. Even though I knew it well, I decided to go through it with fresh eyes, as if I had never read it before. And I was truly impressed.

It would be too simplistic to call it just a basic guide to Yoga and Mantras. This book creates a structured narrative about Yoga, gathering knowledge from multiple sources that usually present only partial or isolated aspects. Here, everything is connected, offering a clear and coherent vision.

The book covers crucial topics, starting with the true meaning and purpose of Yoga - far from the purely physical approach often promoted in modern culture. It also explains the eight fundamental steps described by Patanjali as the path to enlightenment. The language is simple and direct, making even the most complex concepts easy to understand.

This book is valuable for both beginners exploring spirituality for the first time and experienced practitioners. It serves as an essential reference, always at hand, to remind us that Yoga is not just a practice but a journey towards truth and self-discovery.

Unfortunately, Yoga and Mantra by Loretta Zanuccoli is currently available only in Italian. The book is also available in audiobook format, making it even more accessible for those who prefer listening over reading.
