"Yoga justly deserves its world-wide reputation as perhaps the best exercise for the mind and body. But few in India, the country of yoga's origin, practise it. The main reasons are, we don't know how to start, which asanas will suit us, what precautions to take, where to look for an experienced instructor.
This booklet aims to overcome these problems.
The following 15 asanas advocated by a famed guru, cover a wide and common variety of needs. Each asana has been illustrated, the technique, benefits and precautions have also been described. Study these carefully, and gradually begin to exercise.
A final word -- yoga is not just about exercises, it's a way of life. Other than performing asanas regularly, moderation in food, discipline in behaviour, purity in thought, are also a part of yoga. Hope this booklet helps you achieve the benefits and promise of Yoga."… (mais)
