This little book is a surprisingly comprehensive introduction to the metaphysical background of yogic practice, along with a host of related practical matters.The exercises introduced here are all fairly easy and well-described. When this was written, Yoga teachers were far and few between in the US, so this was by necessity a self-help guide. While, strictly speaking, I wouldnt recommend trying these exercises (particularly the mental ones) without a teacher, at least it isnt hard to find Yoga classes any more. | |||
