Description
Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha is internationally recognized as one of the most systematic manuals of hatha yoga available. First published in 1969, it has been in print ever since. Translated into many languages, it is the main text of yoga teachers and students of BIHAR YOGA® – SATYANANDA YOGA® and numerous other traditions.
This comprehensive text provides clear illustrations and step by step instructions, benefits and contra-indications to a wide range of hatha yoga practices, including the little-known shatkarmas (cleansing techniques). A guide to yogic physiology explains the location, qualities and role of the body’s subtle energy system, composed of the pranas, nadis and chakras. Straightforward descriptions take the practitioner from the simplest to the most advanced practices of hatha yoga. Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha is an essential text for all yoga aspirants.
