For the first time, a special study of the psychophysiological foundations of the experiences and bodily transformations occurring through yogic practice.
From Inside Cover:
How Yoga Works: An Introduction to Somatic Yoga, is a precious book, which acts like a bridge between both world hemispheres, East and West, by combining hatha and raja yoga, and elucidating the physical principles as well as the mental aspects of yoga practice.
The book can act as an inspiration for the layman as well as for the experienced yoga practitioner. A beautiful and comprehensive book, the language is so clear and noble in its simplicity that it enables even a layperson like myself to absorb it and to understand what it is about.
Almost every chapter in this wonderful book embraces a whole universe. Its general appeal is exemplified by the fact that it begins with a quote from an Indian guru, who stands on the summit — the top of a mountain — as well as a quote from a student, a beginner, who stands at its foot.
