    A Reviewer Yoga made simple
    Yoga was a distant and alien world to me because I never thought that the asanas and pranayams demonstrated/explained in the book can ever be practised by me. I always felt that my body structure will never be suitable for these. But the apprehensions just melted away after my reading the book doing regular practice. It has really changed my way of life. I strongly recommend the book for bringing ever lasting positive approach in life.

    Kulwant Singh. Atlast - A book par excellence!
    Atlast a book par excellence...! on Yoga for layman as well as for students and practioners of Yoga.I stress on the word layman because i would comment on it as one. From the introduction to the asnas and the therapeutic benifits , the book is an incredible tour into the world of yoga.The clear instructions serve to enhanse the value and readablity.The chapter on theraputic yoga is perhapse the best ---the asnas carefully listed out for for all kinds of "disharmony of body mind and prana".The lucid explanation of chapter on Dhyana takes the book to the level of clarity that is rare and reflects the expertise and personality of the author.A MUST READ for anyone even remotely interested in yoga because I am certain one would get immense benifit out of it . A Gread book indeed to TREASURE.
