This is an excellent stretching guide. The whole body is stretched, even your eyes! At the end of this series of strethces your whole body feels different and your mind is more at peace. Each simple stretch is done with coordinating breaths, which helps to relieve mental tension as well as physical tension. It takes a few sessions to learn the stretches, but once you remember them you just glance at the book and it only takes about 20 minutes for the whole series. I do these at least every Friday to help me relax for a more enjoyable weekend!

Here is the basic illustrated guide of `warm-ups' for the body and mind with simple descriptions. These deceptively easy-looking stretches leave no part of the body or mind unattended. It is a book of stretches, massages, squints, rolls, rotations, swings, bends, twists, squats and balances. Very appropriate for the beginner, one can work over time with continued practice to improve the routine. The resulting flexible body and clearer-thinking mind is the first prize one receives. One can continue and `graduate' to `asana' or Yoga postures, and if desired, learn the complete science of Yoga Philosophy and Meditation and be a life-time practitioner of this Spiritual system.

Whether one goes to the higher levels of the Discipline or not, this is an excellent book for couch potatoes, weekend warriors, and active individuals. The exercises re-coordinate the body and mind, and improve posture, general health and well-being. Devoted disciples of His Holiness Swami Rama find this book to be one of the many blessings He has granted.
