Publisher's Synopsis
Are you looking for a new Yoga guide for improving the execution of your exercises? Then keep reading...
What Is Yoga? Finding yourself on the threshold of this new and exciting journey, you will certainly be asking yourself this question: what is Yoga really? The answer to this is as simple (or as complicated) as you yourself want it to be. Different people use it for different purposes, all highly effective ones. But, in essence, the word Yoga is the Sanskrit word for add, join, unite, and thus, in its noun form, it means unity or connection. It is an ancient art that re-establishes the connection between your body, mind, and soul. It is a journey that will lead you to peace and well-being.
In today's fast-paced life, we are looking for easy solutions to solve our problems, and so we tend to look for sources of fulfillment and gratification outside ourselves. This is the age of instant gratification; we are thirsty for easy, simple, and quick solutions. And, we search for the answers to our queries everywhere else but within us. We are all too eager busy focusing on the materialistic side of life, neglecting (either consciously or subconsciously) the spiritual side. But, as some of the well-known teachers will tell you, you cannot be truly happy if the source of your happiness is external. Your joy, your enthusiasm, and motivation should come from within you. For example, if your profession is something that was chosen for you, or that you chose simply based on the paycheck you would be getting, it is quite possible that this kind of job doesn't bring you too much pleasure. On the contrary, when you are doing a job that fulfils you, which you chose based on your own inner motivations, you will find yourself beaming with satisfaction and joy.

Along with three simple routines that will help you rid yourself of the excess weight and stress, this book also provides you with everything you need to know about Yoga.
