Yoga Therapy for Common Diseases

General Information about yoga is that, it is only performing yogasanas. But it is not so. As per Pathanjali, Yoga has eight limbs. In this book Yoga Therapy, we have tried to cover all the eight limbs, i.e., Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Prathyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. This gives not only bodily benefit, but also mental, emotional and spiritual benefit.
