Looking for good health and the energy of youth? Discover how a few minutes of Yoga will do more for you than hours of ordinary exercise.When you speak about being 'young' or 'old' you are usually not referring to a definite age in terms of years but rather to a state of body and mind. If you stop to think for a moment you will realize that how 'young' a person looks and feels has nothing to do with his actual age in years, for one man is 'youthful' at 75 while another is 'old' at 40. What is the difference between these two individuals? It is simple. The youthful man who is 75 has retained the characteristics of youth. Consequently, he is vibrant and alive. The man who is old at 40 has lost the characteristics of youth and has acquired many or all of the symptoms of age. He therefore appears 'old'.One of the America's foremost Yoga instructors has organized 20 simple Yoga techniques into an easy-to-follow, 7-week course that will enable you to:Strengthen and recondition your entire body.Regain youthful flexibility in spine and limbs.Help control and redistribute your weight in accordance with your physical structure.Remove tension from its many hiding places in your body.Remain relaxed under pressure.Store and release energy and vital force to be used as needed.Heighten resistance to many common disorders.Restore grace, balance, poise and self-confidence.Awaken the vital force to help gain control of your emotions and your mind.Improve in every one of your activities.

This guide to yoga is specially designed for people who haven't the time, patience or energy to waste on calisthenics, isometrics or other "hard-work" routines. The book is arranged logically to try a new movement every day, advancing from simple to more complex movements.
