The author of over 30 books on yoga and creator of definitive works in audio on the teachings and foundations of yoga, he was the founder and director of the Yoga Research and Education Center in California.

Feuerstein (1947-2012) was born in Germany and moved to England to do his postgraduate research at Durham University.

Since the early '70s he has made a significant contribution to the understanding and cooperation within the East-West dialogue. His expertise, knowledge and passion to preserve the authentic teachings of Yoga in its diverse forms has led him to be acknowledged as a leading authority on this subject.

This passion and interest began at the early age of 14 and was sparked by his reading Paul Brunton's seminal work, A Search in Secret India. From this time he has not diverted from the yogic path and his enthusiasm and knowledge has become a mainstay in the resurgence of Yoga in its original form in the West.
