Yoga from a Western Pioneer

Lilias Folan is probably the Western pioneer teacher of Yoga. This short book is based on her Television Yoga program in the 1960s. It is evident that she learned Yoga from authentic Indian Masters. The book gives more than Yoga postures. Breathing and principles of Yoga including vegetarianism are addressed. There is even a vegetarian recipe. Sections for men only, breathing, a note to teachers, and comments and questions are all short and to the point. Many Yoga postures from different groups of asanas are taught. The how to, pointers, and benefits of each posture are given special attention. A black and white photo of Lilias doing each pose is included with the description. The book was written way before Yoga became popular in the West. Lilias dedicates the book to her husband and her Gurus, as customary in the Indian tradition. This is a wonderful book for a beginner.
