Beginning Yoga by Vijayendra Pratap, PHD, DYP BOOK
Simple, but gets results
I bought this book on the advice of a friend who knows a fair amount about Yoga. Just to make sure, I compared it with other books on the shelves of a New Age bookstore. I saw dozens of books about Yoga, some big and lavishly illustrated coffee-table books, some detailed treatises with clinical/anatomical exegesis. There was even an "Idiot's guide" to Yoga.
This book was not only the simplest, but also the most authentic one, without a lot of hi-tech jargon, and with clear illustrations, and speaking from a true love of the tradition, exemplified by a photo of Patrap's distinguished teacher on the flyleaf, followed by the introductory quotation: "Let wellness and prosperity be bestowed upon you."
The book consists of individual descriptions of 27 poses, followed by a collection of several multi-pose "practise plans" geared to different levels of difficulty. There is also a glossary of Indian technical terms.
I have been doing the most beginner-level practise plan for about 6 months now off and on, and it always does make me feel much better. When I first began to do it, I had to look at the book a lot to remember what to do, but eventually I learned it by heart and it became much more fluid, so that it's easy and relaxing to do, and I really do feel like doing it when I need to relax and stretch out. But the benefits of this exercise go beyond just stretching out - there's something about the sequence of poses that not only stretches your muscles but also establishes good circulation and restores stressed-out nerves. The result is not quite as powerful as going swimming, but you can do it in your bedroom!
