The popularity of yoga in the West has exploded from its humble origins in the 1960s. This useful book penned by the man who was there from the inception, integrates scientific and practical approaches into a fresh perspective that complements -- and expands on -- the existing literature. Based on a lifetime of insights and enlivened by Ganga White's storytelling skills, "Yoga Beyond Belief" begins by explaining the core principles of the many branches of the discipline. Next, it shows how the physical practices work to produce remarkable results in health and well-being. Included are a chapter on how to avoid or heal injury and pain, along with a wealth of tools, insights, and anecdotes that both inform and inspire. "Yoga Beyond Belief" concludes by going beyond the physical aspects to the heart of yoga, showing the pitfalls of regimented systems and offering seasoned advice on how students at any skill level can customize their yoga practice for spiritual transformation.

Ganga White writes a very readable book, especially for those not well-versed in yoga practice. He seems to find the middle ground between the purely physical and the spiritual/mystical portrayals commonly found.
I am impressed and consider this book to be a keeper to be read and re-read numerous times.
