Description
This book on Yoga, is perhaps the only one of its kind, wherein, not only methods of doing Yogasanas properly have been shown, but also practical and simplified methods of deriving similar benefits have been illustrated and explained, for persons less physically fit and flexible. These methods are not for gymnasts alone, but for everyone.
Learning Yoga has been made easier, as more than 630 illustrations, bring out every step and nuance of the practice of Yogasana. For guidance, the book contains weekly plans.
The section on Yoga Therapy is based on the author’s close interaction with modern medical practitioners, backed by his own experience of ten years. The Asanas and Pranayamas prescribed for various ailments should help many to regain their normal health.
Yogaerobics and Dynamic Group Yoga, both innovative concepts, have also been introduced in this book, to provide allround fitness for the younger generation.
