Reseña del editor:

Yogi Ramacharaka's book Hatha Yoga is a guide for the beginning yogi and advanced yoga practitioner alike. This book differs from many yoga books you will find today in that it is primarily not a step-by-step guide to the various poses and movements you will practice. In fact, there are no images to accompany the text of this book. While this may be intimidating or seem inappropriate for a book about such a physical activity, the clarity of Yogi Ramacharaka's voice shines through in the absence of colourful pictures.

Rather than narrow in on specific poses, Yogi Ramacharaka has opted to take a broader approach to a yoga instruction. Early chapters focus on the philosophy of hatha yoga, its origins, and the deep spirituality that is part and parcel of yoga practice. For those who have only practiced "fitness-centre" style yoga, with emphasis almost exclusively on the physical, these early chapters provide an excellent introduction to the spiritual aspect of hatha yoga practice.

As the book progresses, Yogi Ramacharaka delves into more specifics regarding the physical aspect of yoga practice. Several chapters focus on breathing, highlighting the essential nature of effective breathing for any yogi. Later chapters focus on proper eating and drinking habits, as well as the importance of physical activity and consistent rest. Even advanced yoga practitioners are sure to learn several tips that will advance their yoga practice and life in general.

While definitely not a step by step instruction manual, Hatha Yoga is an invaluable read for any yoga practitioner. When viewed as a lifestyle instructional for the student of yoga, there are few better options available. Highly recommended.

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

Science of Breath by the same author -that is to say, it should take up the subject of Hatha Yoga with the exception of that phase of the subject (breathing, etc.) which has been covered in that book. But at the last moment we decided that it would be a mis take to publish a book on Hatha Yoga with such an important part of the subject as Yogi Breathing omitted, even though that subject had been covered in another book. To omit that important phase of the subject would be working an injustice to those who purchased the new book, as many of such purchasers would never have read the first book, and would be justified in expecting that the present book would treat of all phases of the general subject. So we decided to incorporate in the present volume those parts of Science of Breath which belonged strictly to the subject of Hatha Yoga, omitting such portions as belonged rather to the other branch of the Yogi Philosophy, i.e., Raja Yoga. We mention these facts that the purchasers of this book, who have also read our former book, might not accuse us of filling a new book with parts of an old one. We advertised this book, intending to give only the supplemental parts, as above stated, and the portions of Science of Breath, which have been added thereto, have been inserted at our own ex pense, and in the nature of good measure, or the bakers
