Breathing life into yoga practice - By: , 27 Mar 2003 
This book by a respected practioner is valuable for several reasons. One, it emphasises the role the breath plays in bringing the asana to 'life', drawing on traditional sources & texts. Second, it offers a simply laid out translation of Patanjalis yoga sutras - accessible to a beginner. Third it offers an explanation of kundalini missing in other texts.
The only curiosity or question mark is, why is the translation of 'ha' & 'tha' at variance with the majority of translations & texts? Was this just an oversight or error?
An accessible book, combining philosophy & practice without 'dumbing-down'
