Eight Lectures on Yoga is a book by English occultist and teacher Aleister Crowley about the practice of Yoga. The work is largely a demystified look at yoga, using little to no jargon or satirical humor. In the book, Crowley instructs students on the steps to approach mysticism through Yoga, and details the complications that arise along the path. One intent Crowley had in writing the book was to dispel the various myths surrounding Yoga in Europe at the time. Crowley covers, in detail, the philosophical, mathematical, and scientific aspects of Yoga. This is not a book to be read while standing or running. It is a high water mark of Crowley's literary career, incorporating all that we should expect from one who had experimented with and mastered most technical forms of spiritual growth. There is humor here, a great deal of sagacity, and much practical advice. This book cannot be dispensed with for the student for whom Yoga is 'the way.'… (meer)

Finally got around to reading this. Amusing and somewhat instructive.

Nearly sixty years have elapsed since I was first introduced to Part I of Book 4, Crowley's first little masterpiece on Yoga. It thoroughly debunked the entire subject and then laid down some firm notions as to what Yoga consisted of without the usual claptrap found in the work of those who should know better. That little book has actually become a classic. If it is not now so regarded by some of his over-critical enemies, the passage of time will undoubtedly make it so.-Israel Regardie

With humor and penetrating wisdom Crowley has produced a work which should uplift the heart of all enthusiastic students of Yoga. I originally received this book as a gift from Israel Regardie in 1975. It has been my constant companion.-Christopher S. Hyatt

This book is timeless. Aleister Crowley has masterfully translated the Eastern method and tradition of Yoga into a form easily understood by the Western Mind. I highly recommend this book to the neophyte and adept alike.-Baron Peter von Gundlach
