Online Yoga Magazine - Christophe Mouze

"A new, crisp, no-nonsense translation of this great classic on the practice of Hatha Yoga. . . . If one, like me, holds that the work of the translator is to be as discreet as possible, then this very faithful translation is probably the best available. . . . The publisher, YogaVidya.com, also produces a version of the Gheranda Samhita, and, I am told, is working on the Shiva Samhita. Serious Yoga students watch out-these are serious translations of serious classics."

Yoga Site

"This lively and lucid translation includes the original Sanskrit. It is a must-have for any serious student or teacher."

Midwest Book Review

This faithful reproduction is an impressive and highly recommended reference for students and devoted practitioners of Hatha Yoga.

Kalamazoo Gazette

Written over five-hundred years ago, the text is considered by many a seminal work on the practice of Hatha Yoga.

Woodstock Times

There is a certain magic at work here—as if Svatmarama has projected himself through time, expressing himself through Akers.

Indology

Beautifully printed and translated. Wonderful pictures, too.

Library Journal

As a doctor trained in traditional Chinese medicine but practicing in a Western country, Lu has witnessed the benefits and limitations of these two different medical practices and believed they could be used to complement each other for the benefit of the patients, especially breast cancer patients. In this book, he systematically explains the principles and theories of traditional Chinese medicine and its successful application in combating mild to serious illnesses, particularly breast cancer. He uses analogies, graphics, and real patients' accounts to demonstrate how Qigong, acupuncture, and Chinese herbs can help women cope with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The whole presentation is clear and logical, and even the first ten chapters on the theoretical and historical aspect of Chinese medicine is fascinating and thought-provoking. Strongly recommended for consumer health collections. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/99.]--Lily Liu, Arkansas Children's Hosp.
