The Author presents in this book (First written in 1956) a natural method of physical and mental training and re-education in breathing which has been evolved with the close collaboration of Swami Vishnoudevananda, Professor of Hatha Yoga at the Forest University in the Himalaya. Louis Frederic has studied in India and lived the life of a Hindu monk in a monastery in the Himalaya.
With the entire approval and under the direction of Swami Vishnoudevananda he has conceived this progressive method of yoga as a true discipline of the body adapted to western life. The 108 spectacular photographs of Asanas were specially posed by Swami Vishnoudevananda for Louis Frederic on the banks of the Ganges.
