Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a complete guide to living a householder's yoga lifestyle. At its core are the writings of the ancient sage Patanjali, whose Yoga Sutras provide many insights into human psychology that are useful in understanding mental illness and finding ways to deal with it. To complete this guide for learning yoga without a teacher, there are instructions and illustrations for simplified yoga postures, breathing exercises, and hygiene practices, which were all developed by the late Shri Yogendra, Founder of The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, India, to bring yoga into the lives of everyday people. In addressing the question of our expectations from yoga practice, Shri Yogendra made it clear that we don't need to create hope of becoming yoga experts. "It is enough if a modern person can become a worthy student of yoga."
