Yoga is simply the synthesis of an awakened spirit and a healthy body. The practice of yoga increases the body’s strength and resilience, and improves its overall well-being, without aggressively interfering with its natural functioning. It makes one shift from dependence on physical attributes to a more intellectual plane of being. It is a practical science aimed at the ultimate realization—moksha. Yoga for the Family is an effort to introduce the whole family to the enjoyment of the effects of yoga, which leads to the last door of knowledge. The purpose of the book is to remove the misconception that yoga is only for the elderly and the sick. The book is divided into separate sections such as yoga for couples, yoga for pregnant women and yoga for children. Yoga for the Family also offers a 41-day transformation process—Kayakalp—which aims at reversing the ageing process, in the tradition of the ancient masters and scholars. This book is a holistic approach that aims to foster growth at all levels: physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
