Asanas

We have great pleasure in presenting this handbook of Asanas to the public. It gives detailed description of the technique of nearly every Asanas that has physical or a spiritual value. With a view to making the description more intelligible each Asanas has been fully illustrated. In this way the handbook becomes a reliable and competent guide to the students of Yoga who wish to follow the Short, Full and Easy Courses of Yogic Physical Culture framed by the Kaivalyadhama.

In order to cover the whole field of physical culture included in the Short. Full and Easy Courses, Viparita Karani, Yoga-Mudra, Uddiyana and Nauli have been discussed in this handbook, although, technically speaking they are not Asanas. If a reader studies our handbook of Pranayama along with this handbook he will know almost everything that is worth knowing for a practical student of yogic physical culture.
