The Yoga System of Health and Relief from Tension

Here in brief and simple form are the principles of the yogis concerning physical exercise, mental and physical disciplines, breathing and food a taught by the Yogi Vithaldas in his school in New York. Yoga has been described as a system of health through physical and mental disciplines; as a system of physical and psychological rules of procedure; as the toning of the body through action and attitude. The Yogi Vithaldas himself says: "Yoga lays stress on bodily and mental poise and produces an equanimity of spirit beneficial to the whole nervous system." In this book the Yogi Vithaldas outlines the benefits of Yoga for ordinary men and women and explains the system of exercises of which he himself is the teacher. These explanations, illustrated by photographs of the author, describe the movements so clearly that any normally active person can follow them. Through Yoga troubled people and those with uneasy nerves have achieved relaxation, ease of tension and clarity of mind as well as a continual feeling of physical well0being. For a thorough understanding of the system of Yoga and its application to individual needs, this is probably the simplest and most direct book that can be found.
