“Going back to the time of the Buddha, yoga practitioners have been divided into two groups: Experimentalists who know yoga through their bodies and Speculatives who know yoga through philosophical teachings. Mark Stephens' Yoga Therapy is proof that he has mastered both paths.”

—David Gordon White, author of The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali: A Biography and Dæmons Are Forever: Contacts and Exchanges in the Eurasian Pandemonium
editor of Yoga in Practice and Tantra in Practice
