This is an excellent guide to the Hatha Yoga way of life in all its aspects of health and well-being. You don't have to practice yoga positions to benefit from the wisdom and practical suggestions of this book. Just something as small as breathing correctly can change your whole physiology. I found this book to be very helpful in my overall goal to making a temple of my body as a way to aid my spiritual growth.

This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is not about postures, it is about the way to take care of your body and your health. It is chock full of information on how to improve your health in a variety of ways (some of which you can begin while you are reading the book), and many of which are very painless! From breathing, to chewing, to what to eat, to sunning, to ventilation, to bathing, to fresh air, to exercise and so on, he gives you fantastic advice for improving your health and your life. And he also explains WHY you should do the different things, and how they affect your body.

An absolute gem of a book; most highly recommended!

Just wanted to add that this same author's book, The Science of Breath, is also a must have book, for health. He explains how to breathe the ''full yogi breath'' and ''rhymthic breathing'' as well as other types of breathing for different things; the book is WONDERFUL! I would highly recommend these two books for anyone that wants to improve their health (and even if they are already healthy). The information in both books is just a goldmine!
