“Even people who already know something about yoga will be surprised at how much this book offers. The last four chapters exclusively treat the theme of meditation and belong to the best of what I have read on the subject.”

- Swami Pragyamurti Saraswati

Swami Janakananda's teaching is based on the tantric tradition, emphasizing a practical approach, rather than presenting philosophical explanations or chasing modern trends. You may discover that yoga is something completely different from sports or strenuous exercise, and that you do not have to follow a philosophy or live up to any ideals to benefit from it. Rather, it is a set of tools available to anybody, whether for self-discovery, increased calm and energy, or better health.

These and many other topics are covered:

- Yoga poses- Breathing exercises- The deep relaxation Yoga Nidra- Meditation- Practices from the Kriya Yoga tradition- The tantric sexual rituals- Chakras and Kundalini Yoga

The book shows yoga in its original light: rejuvenating, meditative and relaxing, a yoga that helps you towards a strong and supple body and clarity of mind – and to find peace within yourself.
