Kundalini Yoga


Kundalini Yoga : Concepts and Practices by Bipin Joshi is a unique guide to the ancient knowledge of Kundalini Yoga. Written in simple and lucid language the book is a great addition to your book shelf.

Kundalini Yoga is often considered as something dangerous, mysterious and not to be practiced by ordinary Yoga aspirants. This book demystifies the concepts such as Pancha Tattwas, Nadis, Pranas, Koshas, Kundalini and Chakras in a jargon free language. It brings the subject out of mythological explanations still keeping the correctness and essence intact.

Theory without practice is useless. The book explains many techniques for awakening the Kundalini including Surya Namaskara, Meditative Asanas, Pranayamas, Bandhas and Meditations. The author has applied the principal of moderation while prescribing the practices which makes it possible even for an average Yoga aspirant to learn and apply them. Nevertheless the practices are very powerful and effective in themselves. The author's experience and study of many ancient Yogic texts makes the book authentic and practical.
