You want to have a full life. You want to feel well. You want
lots of energy, vitality, power, and stamina. Am I right so
far?
Well, the great news is that all these can be yours. Yoga
applies age-old secrets to everyday life in a modern,
fast-paced world. Its practical application can restore your
lost youth, put new zest into your every step, and empower you
to fully enjoy a sense of health, energy and creative living.
All this will do wonders for your future happiness...
Sounds good, huh? Well let me tell you a little about yoga...
Yoga is an ancient health-art developed and perfected over the
centuries by wise men in ancient India. Yoga is not a religion,
a metaphysical doctrine, or a philosophy. It is not magic,
although the amazing improvements it can make in your health,
your appearance and your youthfulness may often seem magical,
even miraculous...
There are many different types of yoga. Contrary to popular
belief, not all types of yoga involve difficult positions and
postures, uncomfortable exercises or strenuous diets...
Yoga can take years off your face and years from your body, and
add years to your life. There are certain secret methods by
which the Yogis keep the flexibility and "spring" of early
youth in their joints and muscles and limbs well into the
declining years...
It is a common sight to see, in the crowded, colorful streets
of Bombay or New Delhi, Yogis well into their seventies and
even their eighties, with the straight, graceful posture of a
boy, walking with the elastic, springy step of youth... with
firm, healthy bodies, their hair dark and glossy and
un-streaked with grey. Firm, unlined faces ... clear, un-dimmed
eyes...
Not only does yoga make you look and feel years younger, and
years healthier, but it lends your body superb health. It works
like magic because it enables the body to realize its full
potential of great health...
You know that Nature has built into your body certain certain
"defense mechanisms" for self-repair, natural safeguards
against disease. Well, modern yoga helps the body's machinery
function smoothly, efficiently, and at peak performance...
Yoga encourages your body to derive every last possible atom of
nutritive value from the food you now eat (so different from the
natural diet of your ancestors) ... to get every second of
refreshment and rest from your sleep ... to attain regularity,
relief from little aches and pains, the ability to sleep deep
and wake refreshed that can make the difference from feeling
"pretty good" to feeling "terrific"!
Yoga assists all your muscles and bones and organs to operate
at their maximum potential. Yoga stimulates into peak
performance the hidden abilities of your body to throw off the
attacks of disease that affect so many people we know and
love...
Do you suffer from insomnia and stress? Have you lost your
appetite? Do you find it hard to relax? Do you smoke too much,
feel "worn out" by the afternoon, find as you grow older that
you cannot enjoy full life and day to day vitality?
Yoga has the amazing power to relax and refresh you, soothe
your nerves, calm your mind, give you the serenity and strength
and inner stamina that is part of the "Magic of the East".
Yoga prevents the premature grey in your hair, the ugly
wrinkles in your face....
Yoga tightens those sagging muscles that give you that "tired
look." It puts new zest in your appetite, brings back the
sparkle in your eyes, and gives that wonderful sensation of
feeling "fit as a fiddle"...
If these benefits are important to you (and you’d be crazy if
they weren’t) then its time you learnt about yoga!
