Babaji's Kriya Hatha Yoga: 18 Postures of Relaxation and Rejuvenation

This book is THIN, not the superbulky yoga posture books with fancy pictures and long step by step details. Yet the sequence of postures contain, what I believe, very traditional and perhaps ancient routines for forming a yoga sequence. The hand illustrated pictures can sometimes be difficult to decipher (for example I don't really know whether to move my body in circles or from side to side), but if you've taken yoga classes already, you can combine what you've learned with the instructions in the book. I got this book because I love The Autobiography of a Yogi and I respect Yogananda's reverence for his guru's guru's guru Babaji. I do believe the simplicity of this book enhances its authenticity. Because it is thin and light, it is also an easy travel companion. And I believe this book is a good source for those who want to explore different yoga sequences and the meaning of each sequence, to enhance what they learn from their respective yoga teachers. I don't recommend using this book as a sole source of yoga teaching, you still need a good teacher to make sure you are doing the postures correctly. But it is an nice accompaniment.

Simple, clear, and to the point. Not an Americanized "stretch" book, this book was exactly what I was searching for. Yoga is union, not just stretching.

Small, difficult to view demo drawings. The quality of materials & printing require delicate handling or booklet print wears off. System presented and step by step pose prompts are excellent. Would like to see this material in a larger, higher quality format.

Practical - to use in daily practice till remember the 18-sequence. Compact - no space needed to store in my locker. Well written - enjoy the concise and to-the-point discourse. Illustrations - sufficient reminder, after having real life instructors or video of the 18. Modest - the way yoga should be. Language - precise, no unnecessary exaggerations. Ideal - for self motivated practitioners. And much more, but the above should give an idea. Originally, I thought it was a single page flash card or mini poster. So I thought, I will draw much better my self. I was simply deceived by the caver. Till I saw in a class a real copy and realized must have it. Thank you Satchidananda! Om Kriya Babaji Namaa Aum..

This easy to read book with great illustrations outlines a blessed path of yoga, in an appropriate sequence for the exercise of the physical body and the interaction of the spiritual bodies and the chakras. It is a divine movement for the release of LIGHT!!! After practicing daily, I feel a joy that helps me bear the stress of daily life and my personal burdens. We also know that Babaji is a true master and not a false teacher so we can be confident that these asanas were given for our benefit and spiritual enlightenment. This is a jewel of a book but you must put it into action.

Such innocent thin booklet, quickly become my neighboring companion every morning commencing my Hatha exercises. Super recommended, because it basically sums up hundred page Hatha book into small 20 page booklet, and turns Hatha into "Let's get going...".

This book is one of my favorites...this entity lives and breathes, one just has to believe and look at ourselves as the same...love, kindness and compassion for others and movements to obtain health and balance...

Great book! Very easy to read and use as a guide to the yoga poses. Helpful information.

I bought this book because I enjoy yoga but wanted something a little different, this book promises to show you a whole sequence to do that will benefit your health, I know how yoga can promote wellbeing, I was interested. The book is small, thin, modest and you may wonder if you have your money's worth, it doesn't feel heavy in hand. What you have here is a well presented and easy to follow yoga sequence, concise and accessible, easy to transport around, it'll get used. I'm impressed.

Phenomenal experience! I love these practices sooo much that I long to finish work fast just so I can begin practising them. They create ecstatic states within my body that are indescribable. Honestly! I recommend interested readers to also read “Babaji’s Kriya Yoga: Deepening your practice.” If I have to choose a few things from life as one of the biggest gifts from God, I would choose both these books. 🙂🎁

Book that I had ever seen about Asanaas of kriya yoga in detail thanks for the seller and Amazon

I made the book a gift to a German family, as I do not know German and the book was in German. For me any book of yoga is worthy of more then five stars!

I was expecting a better book
