Yoga and Health

Having been his pupil since age 12, beginning of the 70s and until he stopped teaching mid 80s, Selvarajan Yesudian is the living example of his writings: a source of love, grace, spirit and health.

i first bought this book in the late 1960's. it is the premier book on teaching yourself Hatha Yoga. A truly remarkable work. No one need go anywhere else to learn a daily practice. Nothing better than this lttle gem. straight forward, no guruitis....

It is a very instructive, concise, easy to understand and apply to real life book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who strives to live a simple and healthy life.

I totally agree with the other previous reviewer that this is the best yoga book ever written in existence. A joy to read and all the sentiments in it come from the heart and are conveyed in a genuinely caring manner to the reader. An amazing book.

What better way could there be to present a how-to /self improvement book than to actually "walk the walk" and "talk the talk" for oneself? That is exactly what Selvarajan Yesudian has done in his excellent book on Hatha Yoga titled simply "Yoga and Health". With the help of Elisabeth Haich, he presents his story of failing health in childhood, his subsequent discovery of Hatha Yoga and his journey back to wholeness. A complete course on Hatha Yoga from beginner to advanced, the book contains over 70 photographs with detailed descriptions of postures and breathing techniques. If you have only one book on the subject this should be it! Unfortunately this fine book is out of print and difficult to find. I myself have found, and worn out, two paper-bound copies from Perennial Library and have been utilizing the simple wisdom and practical instruction presented in this book, on a daily basis, for the last twenty years. If anyone knows where I might obtain a hard-bound copy of this fine book I would be eternally grateful.
