This is an excellent compilation of what Yoga “truly is”. In a world that has confused Yoga with Asana, it is indeed a refreshing breeze of noble thoughts that percolate through every page of this in-depth exploration of the culture of Yoga. Attention to great detail is found in each and every line and the numerous illustrations add clarity to the teachings.
