This beginner's guide to yoga is designed to demystify this ancient science of movement. Yoga can benefit everyone by raising energy levels, improving flexibility and muscle tone, calming the nervous system and focusing concentration. The introduction outlines the principles and history of yoga and is followed by simple instructions on breathing techniques and posture which form the basis of the "asanas" or postures. The book contains three exercise programmes taking the novice gradually through to an intermediate stage with more difficult asanas, and also includes helpful tip boxes and 300 full-colour, step-by-step photographs.
