“This is an excellent compilation of what Yoga “truly is.” In a world that has confused Yoga with Asana, it is indeed a refreshing breeze of noble thoughts that percolate through every page of this in-depth exploration of the culture of Yoga. Attention to great detail is found in each and every line, and the numerous illustrations add clarity to the teachings. I congratulate the team of CYAI for putting together this much-needed and valuable addition to educational resources in modern Yoga.”
— Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, Director, ISCM, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth; and Acharya of the ICYER at Ananda Ashram, Pondicherry, India
