About the Book
Since ancient times, the practice of Yoga has brought vast mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health benefits. Today, it is often reduced to being only a means of physical exercise, thereby losing the treasure of its comprehensive original forms - the Ashtanga, Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, and Jnana Yoga which aim to bring holistic well-being.
This book presents a thorough research of the ancient Indian scriptures and texts covering all aspects of Yoga in English, along with original Sanskrit references for each. It is as relevant and useful for a beginner as for an advanced practitioner or teacher of Yoga.
