Among the many kinds of yoga described by the philosopher sage Patanjali, hatha yoga is the practice of physical postures. The word hatha denotes the complementary nature of all things in the cosmos. Yoga for Everybody deals with this classic form of yoga whose practice helps achieve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual harmony, along with meditation, mantra repetition and breathing exercises. It starts with the importance of prayer in yoga and move o to beginning exercises and then illustrates in detail the complete routine. It also dwells on Suryanamaskar, classification of yogasanas (separating meditation postures from relaxation and action postures), yoga trataka and yogic breathing, ending with a chapter on pranayama. Yoga for Everybody is thus an exhaustive, one-stop guide to health through hatha yoga.
