What distinguishes author Tias Little’s book from many other yoga handbooks is his exploration not only of the physical benefits of yoga postures (asanas) and breathing practices but also of yoga’s profound effects upon the mental/emotional realms and upon what he describes as the subtle (energetic) body. Even the most experienced yoga practitioner will gain much from Little’s impressive knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, and Western approaches to manual therapy as well as his grasp of basic meditative, mantric, and breathing exercises. In addition, he skillfully incorporates elements of Eastern metaphysics, scripture, and imagery as well as detailed discussion of energetic centers (chakras) and their correspondence to bodily structures.
