Yoga Postures for Self Awareness

Since it's first publication in 1967, this little book has acquired a reputation as the best book for beginners. It also offers seasoned yoga students and teachers new and important insights into this ancient science. For most books on the yoga postures stress only their physical benefits. Yet the true purpose of the postures is to help man to achieve a balanced harmony of mind and soul as well as of body. Yoga Postures for Self Awareness stresses this balanced approach. The yoga postures are shown to be valuable aids, not only in achieving radiant physical health, but also in the development of positive mental attitudes and of a more inwardly "centered" awareness. Stress is placed in this book on the usefulness of yoga postures to spiritual development.
