Bhavani Silvia

While the techniques of Yoga are well expounded upon in the West, little guidance has been offered to integrate these practices with our emotions and psychology. Traditionally, the Patanjali Yoga Sutra is recognized as the definitive guide, offering perennial wisdom in navigating life's challenges through the cultivation of viveka khyati, discriminating wisdom. In The Yogi's Roadmap, Bhavani Maki offers unique, contemporary insights into the Yoga Sutra, revealing that deep, personal inquiry is both the means and the experience, of embodying our true spiritual awakening.

Bhavani Maki has been immersed in the yogik tradition for over thirty years, and taught Yoga, Yoga psychology, and philosophy for twenty years. She has made numerous trips to India to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and Sanskrit with Professor Narayanacharya. She studied Astanga Yoga with Baba Hari Dass of the Mount Madonna Center, and the Patanjali Yoga Sutra with Rama Jyoti Vernon. Bhavani offers Yoga classes, intensives, and teacher trainings internationally, and on her home island of Kaua’i.
