This book does not intend to contradict any of these philosophies or techniques. As practitioners of yoga, we tend to explore, guided by the intricate maps bequeathed to us by great masters in their scholarly texts. The deeper we explore, the more we discover a plethora of practices, complex philosophies and contradictory teachings. In the circumstances, The Power of Yoga is a guide that helps you understand the basic principles and practice of Hatha Yoga. Yoga asanas are the main focus of this book. The sequencing patterns of the asanas are determined by the principles of balance and counterbalance. A variety of sequences based on energy patterns are its highlight. Focusing on the arrangement of the chakras, the patterns are detailed to deal with a particular lifestyle-based issue. These patterns are categorised and illustrated for better understanding. The illustrations are based on the author’s personal study and practice of yoga.
