Tough Stance Strength Flexibility Alertness - Soul's Sunshine Moonlight

The human body is a machine with a complexity beyond anything we have ever seen or built. Even after millions of years, we are yet to understand it completely. Bones, muscles, fluids, organs, and other innumerable components keep this one organism in a sustainable working state that requires little voluntary effort. In the early times, when Homo-sapiens were still hunters, there was no time or the need to develop any kind of special techniques to keep the body in an optimum condition. Either one survived and created stronger off-springs, or one was devoured by some animal or the environment. Hunting, creating spaces to sleep safely. Doing everything oneself gave the body a strength that is unmatched by people who have lived in the last 500 years in the changing world. Even today one can observe the "superhuman" strength and skill in tribal people that have not changed their ways for millennia.

The Seers realized that the body and mind are deeply interconnected, and when they are in harmony, life is pleasant and powerful. The scientists developed techniques to achieve harmony between the mind and nature. Hence, Yoga was born, the technology to bring harmony between Body, Mind and Nature.

In the earlier times, control on breath and sensory organs were taught to the students because the food was always seasonal and freshly cooked, there were few distractions, and the regular routine of life provided more than enough exercise to the body. Bodies were strong and flexible, and minds were alert. Asanas came into vogue as life became more and more placid and the body started deteriorating.

This book reinforces the YOGA Practice by showing ASANA that can help reinvent the MIND and allow LIFE a cheery boldness a and a gusty enthusiasm.
