YogaVidya.com Launches Landmark Yoga Book

This definitive edition, translated by James Mallinson, contains a new introduction, the original Sanskrit, a new English translation, and thirty-nine full-page photographs.

Dr. Mallinson says, "This book is unique. It teaches a sevenfold path to perfection of the person. And the chapters on asanas and mudras are unparalleled in the number of practices taught."

"It's accurate, but also smoothly written," says Dr. George Cardona at the University of Pennsylvania. "This translation is a very welcome addition to recent work on Yoga.”

The publisher placed it in context. "It's one of the three main treatises on Hatha Yoga, the other two being the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, which we published in 2002, and the Shiva Samhita, which is our next book."

(Available now, paperback, ISBN 0-9716466-3-5, $12.95)
