Balanced Yoga: The Twelve Week Programme by Svami Purna

Description

Yoga is practised in many different ways, each of which, however, has the same aim-the harmony and integration of the practitioner’s whole being. As the body is often considered to be the best starting-point, this practical guide concentrates on Hatha yoga, the yoga of physical exercise. Balanced yoga, as its title suggests, embraces a wide range of disciplines. Divided into a twelve week programme, each of the lessons revolves around a guiding through or principle which is manifested by related exercises or postures. Breathing and relaxation techniques, dietary advice, and aids to concentration and meditation are also included. Designed as a safe and practical guide for men and women, Balanced Yoga provides a simple but complete system of physical, mental and emotional maintenance.
