Illustrated Guide to Asanas and Pranayama

This book is divided into two parts, the first illustrated catalogue of asanas and pranayama, the second some variations of certain asanas. It is intended that it be regarded as reference work only, both for teachers and students. Adequate space has been left for notes to be written on preparation, counter poses, other variations, etc., as suitable for a particular teacher or student. I would like to emphasize the necessity of learning under the supervision of a qualified teacher, and to stress that trying to learn asanas or pranayama from the contents of these pages would be a misuse of the book.
