Ananda Yoga for Higher Awareness

This is an excellent book for getting you started on yoga postures. Kriyananda has chosen central postures and explains the most effective order for doing them. Most of all, he explains the deeper purpose of yoga postures: to uplift the consciousness. I discovered that while toning my body, I could also tone my mind. Recently I was reading another book on yoga postures which contained many more poses. I found myself getting increasingly confused. Where should I start? What should I do first. Kriyananda gives you a clear introduction on how to begin and where to go from there.

Doing this type of yoga definitely builds higher consciousness. I have been recommending this book for years.
