Science of Yoga

I have attempted to share the knowledge that I have gathered and experienced about yoga from my revered gurus and teachers, and the books written by experts, which is just a microcosm of the ocean of information on the subject. I thank all of them for creating this opportunity for me. This book gives an insight about yoga and the role it plays in human lives for holistic well-being. It explains the science behind yoga by detailing the structure, system and mental health of the human body; and the origin, importance and principles of yoga and yogic practices. This includes asanas, pranayama, mudras and certain yogic practices, some of which I have given illustrations with benefits, which helps each system to function effectively for good health. Have also described the ill effects that can be triggered if any one of our body systems [annamayam, pranamayam, manomayam, vijnanamayam and anandamayatri) is disturbed. In a nutshell, the book details how yogic practices can help the body, mind and soul sustain good health.
