From the Publisher
The ancient
discipline of yoga has acquired a special
relevance in the present context. The fruitless,
endless pursuit of material gain in the quest for
happiness has led people all over the world to
seek alternative methods of healing that can bring
peace of mind.
Although yoga is
essentially a deeply spiritual experience,
modern-day practitioners tend to promote yoga as a
set of techniques that can cure specific disorders
and achieve general fitness.
This book
explains the origin of yoga and traces the
evolution of its meaning from ancient times to the
present day. It focuses on certain techniques that
can treat physical ailments and create a sense of
physical and mental well-being.
