From the Back Cover:

The Complete Yoga Book is an encyclopedia of yoga practice and practical yoga as well as of the philosophy and background of yoga. It is divided into three sections.

The first of these is concerned with raising the levels of health and energy through breathing. The second section constitutes one of the most important guides ever published of the Asanas, or postures of yoga. Clear, easy to follow instructions and drawings accompany Hewitt's descriptions of over 400 postures. The author includes warm-ups and many modifications of basic postures for beginners or those with specific problems. The third section deals with the history and philosophy of yoga and surveys in depth the various meditative methods including transcendental meditation. He discusses the possession of psychic powers and the potentialities of bio-feedback and relates all these developments to the classic techniques of meditation and yoga.
