The yoga system of health is a culture that has been practiced by the yogis in India for thousands of years. Its roots lie buried deep in the past, but its message is addressed no less surely to the people of today, living in the restless atmosphere of the modern world.

It trains the student in the basic principles of health and creates a true placidity of nature that allows great intensity of activity of both mind and body, when such activity is necessary.

We need more than window dressing and superficial action. We have to get deeper into causes of how we got to where we are. The audiobook focuses on that deeper understanding and the transformation needed to really address the ills that affect Gaia.
