The Power of Yoga
The yoga exercises in the book are based on Hatha yoga for exercise and relaxation, and Kalari yoga for preparing the mind and body for meditation. The physical, mental, health, and Ayurvedic benefits of each asana (yoga posture) are clearly explained. In short, The Power of Yoga provides readers with all they need to know not only to perform the postures well, but also to understand their underlying purpose and what benefits to expect.
