FREE to download. This is a wonderful
opportunity. This is gem of an old Yoga book on healthy living, diet and
personal hygiene! It covers in some detail; correct breathing, relaxation, and
even postures within daily life. Although Hatha Yoga was written just over a
hundred years ago, its teachings are as accurate today as they were then and may
offer some insight into just how diminished some yoga practices have become in
recent years. Much of this book may well be very revealing to modern students.
