Swami Janakananda Saraswati

Yoga, Tantra and Meditation in Daily Life

A classic among yoga books. It is first and foremost a practical guide to the whole system of yoga. The clear step-by-step instructions make it easy for the beginner to learn the yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation. For the experienced, the book contains in-depth sections that include both practice and theory. It even elucidates the tantric tradition, kundalini yoga, the chakras and the sexual rituals. Use it as a self-study course and for inspiration in your everyday life. The book differs from most other books on yoga; it has its fundament in the tantric tradition - that is, the author´s intention and interest is to offer you a way to achieve tangible results, rather than to present philosophical explanations, create dreams and ideals or follow the fleeting fashions in the yoga of today. "I love this book! A highly serious and traditional, yet pure honest light and heart-full approach to yoga. Spiritually devoted yet very down to Earth and I'm happy that this teaching became my entrance to yoga. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in yoga, whether you are beginner or advanced you will find something in it to inspire you and help you go further!" - Siri Kalla The goal is to make it possible for you to create a strong and supple body and a free and creative mind - and to find peace within yourself. If you really want something out of yoga, it is not enough to do some exercises quickly and mechanically like in sport or fitness training. The book shows yoga in its original light; recreational, meditative and relaxing, thus providing necessary energy for meeting your daily activities with peace and wellbeing.
