Description

Health and hatha yoga (Life and works of Swami Sivananda vol.-2)

In the first section of this comprehensive book, swami Sivananda gives us lucid understanding of what constitutes good health, including many aspects that are often neglected.

The second section, hatha yoga, deals with exercises for flexibility (covering all the joints of the body): classical yoga asanas and variations; twelve bandhas and mudras, and the shat-kriyas (cleansing techniques). the concise and explicit chapter on pranayama covers every aspect of this important practice. in the section on kundalini the different aspects of this mysterious power are described in simple language. sections on swara yoga and brahmcharaya follow, and the book concludes with a chapter on concentration, meditation and samadhi.
