Yoga is a science, and not a vague, dreamy drifting or imagining. It is an applied science, a systematized collection of laws applied to bring about a definite end. It takes up the laws of psychology, applicable to the unfolding of the whole consciousness of man on every plane, in every world, and applies those rationally in a particular case. This rational application of the laws of unfolding consciousness acts exactly on the same principles that you see applied around you every day in other departments of science. You know, by looking at the world around you, how enormously the intelligence of man, co-operating with nature, may quicken "natural" processes, and the working of intelligence is as "natural" as anything else. We make this distinction, and practically it is a real one, between "rational" and "natural" growth, because human intelligence can guide the working of natural laws; and when we come to deal with Yoga, we are in the same department of applied science as, let us say, is the scientific farmer or gardener, when he applies the natural laws of selection to breeding. The farmer or gardener cannot transcend the laws of nature, nor can he work against them. He has no other laws of nature to work with save universal laws by which nature is evolving forms around us, and yet he does in a few years what nature takes, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of years to do. And how? By applying human intelligence to choose the laws that serve him and to neutralize the laws that hinder. He brings the divine intelligence in man to utilise the divine powers in nature that are working for general rather than for particular ends. So is it in the application of the laws of psychology that we call Yoga. Systematized knowledge of the unfolding of consciousness applied to the individualized Self, that is Yoga. As I have just said, it is by the world that consciousness has been unfolded, and the world is admirably planned by the LOGOS for this unfolding of consciousness; hence the would-be yogi, choosing out his objects and applying his laws, finds in the world exactly the things he wants to make his practice of Yoga real, a vital thing, a quickening process for the knowledge of the Self. There are many laws. You can choose those which you require, you can evade those you do not require, you can utilize those you need, and thus you can bring about the result that nature, without that application of human intelligence, cannot so swiftly effect. Take it, then, that Yoga is within your reach, with your powers, and that even some of the lower practices of Yoga, some of the simpler applications of the laws of the unfolding of consciousness to yourself, will benefit you in this world as well as in all others. For you are really merely quickening your growth, your unfolding, taking advantage of the powers nature puts within your hands, and deliberately eliminating the conditions which would not help you in your work, but rather hinder your march forward.

Yoga is much more than just a workout. It's a combination of components that can transform your health on many different levels. The lectures in this book were delivered at the 32nd Anniversary of the Theosophical Society held at Benares, India in 1907, and they are intended to give the reader an outline of Yoga. These lectures forms the basis for a deeper study of the teaching of Yoga in general, containing the essentials to be considered throughout the different stages of living and practice. The author, Annie Wood Besant (1847-1933) - was a British writer and activist. President of the Theosophical Society, she was also involved in the cause of women's rights. "An Introduction to Yoga" was the way in which she presented the idea of Yoga to western public in 1908. This book addresses the following topics and many of these were passed on from ancient works. - The Nature of Yoga - What is consciousness and Divinity? - Yoga as one of the six Indian schools of Philosophy. - Yoga as an applied science. - The practice of yoga. (Not exactly as it's practiced today) - Discussion on diet, purifying of the body, concentration and meditation. - The 4 states of consciousness and the 5 stages of the mind. - The 3 gunas, the 5 functions of pain, and the 7 obstacles to yogic progress. Please note - as this book was written in early 19th century English, its readability is tolerable-taking into context the complex concepts under discussion. This book will be a great read to all interested in Yoga as a philosophy and is NOT intended to learn the reader yoga poses at home.

A healthy lifestyle means breathing well - but most people breathe badly. To breathe well only means not to obstruct the natural processes, including breathing through the nose, and to develop a posture that allows this, because naturally we know exactly how to breathe. We just forget, and inhibit ourselves. The yoga principle of pranayama is explored in detail here, and yoga postures that assist in good breathing make this an excellent 'remedial' book - but primarily it is a book which simply allows, and seeks, a return to nature. In our post-pandemic world understanding the breath has a whole new relevance. The book also covers anatomy, chanting, and meditation or mindfulness.
