mental, emotional and spiritual. Yoga address' each of these areas,
holistically and has for many thousands of years. While the origins of
yoga are rooted in the traditions of the far East, yoga is not a
religion but a ancient and very sophisticated science. With its
introduction to the West, yoga has shown its self to be superior to any
known fitness or well being system yet developed. Contrary to common
ideas, yoga is simple, inexpensive, safe, gentle and can be practiced
in the home by anyone of any age or physical condition.

contain real yoga, devoid of the hype. These books are clearly written
and easy to understand, empowering the reader to learn and benefit from
this powerful,health promoting science. This can be done at ones own
pace and according to your own abilities, disposition and spiritual
beliefs.
