Yoga a gem for women

Descrição / Description

"Yoga is considered uniquely instrumental in the search for self realisation, and through it the realisation of God. The author, who has mastered the subtle techniques of the art, has presented it in book form, showing a variety of āsanas known for their physical and curative values, Prānāyāma with its Bandhas and Dhyāna or meditation."

The asanas in the book are divided into various sections dealing with simple standing positions, forward bends, lateral movements, backward extensions of the spine, correct breathing techniques during the performance of the asanas and also the effects of the asanas on the body, nerves and mind. The author has included simple steps for advancing from a purely phisical plane to a higher level of conscious. Almost all the illustrations in the book are her own
