A bible for all yoga lovers, and particularly for André Van Lysebeth’s followers ! After learning yoga with one of the greatest Indian gurus, André Van Lysebeth became himself one of the first Western masters of hatha yoga and, adapting it to Western lifestyles, taught the discipline for a great number of years in Europe. This encyclopedia brings together the Master’s key texts, thus providing a broad overview of yoga and its uses. This is a practical, comprehensive book, intended for a wide audience, from beginners to well-trained yogis: it offers a hands-on detailed description of postures, of how to achieve them, of their psychological and physiological effects, of their benefits and the hazards one should avoid. In this book, readers will discover all the blessings of hatha yoga, the various postures (asânas), meditation methods and breathing techniques (pranayâma), as well as sequences of movements and postures. Lise Herzog’s illustrations echo the photographs of Van Lysebeth’s original book.
