Yoga for health By Randeep Wadehra
Back to health through yoga by Ramesh Bijlani
Rupa & Co. Pages: xviii+329. Price: Rs. 295/-
Often looked upon as a health preserving/enhancing regimen, or simplified as a way of attaining spiritual fulfillment, Yoga is actually a profoundly sophisticated concept that forms one of the six classic systems of Hindu philosophy. It comprises eight stages, viz., yama, niyama, āsana, prānāyāma, prātyāhāra, dhārāna, dhyāna and samādhi.
After brief explanation of some of these stages this volume dwells upon various benefits that can accrue from different yogic practices and asanas both from medical and general health point of view. There’re separate chapters dealing with various lifestyle related maladies that provide well thought out info and advice on diet, obesity, stress, diabetes etc. For the readers’ convenience there’re relevant questions and answers at the end of each chapter.
