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. I congratulate the team of CYAI for putting together this much needed and valuable addition to educational resources in modern Yoga." Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, MBBS, MD, DSc (Yoga) Director, Institute of Salutogenesis and Complementary Medicine (ISCM), Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth; and Acharya of the ICYER at Ananda Ashram, Pondicherry, India.

Commercial and religious interests can sometimes distort development and dissemination of knowledge. This book is an effort to correct this distortion in the knowledge of yoga.
