"I recently purchased this book and have started to read. I think is truly amazing. Very informative detailed and descriptive. I practice yoga regularly and i am in incorporating it into my daily/weekly routines. My ability to visualise and grown immensely. This book recently helped me explain to feeling that i was experiencing after a yoga class which involved working on the heart chakra. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn about not only the seven well know chakras but also touches on many others too."

"I’m studying yoga philosophy at the moment and was looking for a book that I could easily understand. After reading this book, which is written by the Swami, things started to make more sense. It’s a large topic but anyone who practices yoga and is interested in background knowledge and tips for meditation should buy this book. I shall definitely use it when I start teaching. Attractively illustrated and in plain English – unlike some yoga books!"
