"Yoga is one of the original concepts which today would be labeled as holistic. That means that the body is related to the breath; both are related to the brain; in turn this links with the mind, which is a part of consciousness. The essence of yoga is to be in the driver's seat of life. Control is a key aspect of yoga: control of the body, breath and mind.

Hopefully the present book will be useful for the students and teachers of physical and health education, sportsperson, and for those interested in the concept of yoga." (jacket)
