This great resource is not only deeply rooted in the
ancient traditions of yoga, it is clearly organized and easy

and well being. Plus the value of yoga for overcoming ailments
is explored in detail. Case studies are given and practice
sequences are clearly described and illustrated.
The sections of this book dealing with neck, shoulder,

Institutes of Health study. This study scientifically proved the value of these
exercises for improving muscular and skeletal health. (For DVDs on these areas
