Regain the flexibility, range of motion, and vitality that you once took for granted, and feel stress melt away while discovering how to make your body feel better. These exercises are among the first techniques taught by Swami Rama.

"In the 1970’s, Swami Rama’s groundbreaking work at the Menninger Foundation caused a revolution in modern scientific understanding of the body/mind relationship… With dynamism and humor, Swami Rama explains how yogis work with the body, breath, and mental states to attain emotional balance, vitality, and ultimately, enlightenment…." - Linda Johnsen

Drawing from the oral tradition of a long line of Himalayan sages, Pandit Tigunait arranged and led these chants. Many songs in this collection are Indian classics; a few are unique, rarely-heard arrangements.
