What others are saying:

"Building upon one another, each successive lesson … offers information on philosophy, breathing, healing, and diet as it pertains to the yoga. Step one begins with a history of this "path to enlightenment," and introduces three postures with special guidelines for the process of gradual discovery of the body's potentials.
Breathing is explained as the means of taking in prana, translated as both "energy" and "life." Suggestions about establishing a routine are followed by sections on healing, diet and the importance of meditation practice, with instructions on a simple exercise for beginning to still our thoughts. Certainly a marvelous primer for anyone interested in seriously pursuing the path, The Art and Science of Raja Yoga also provides a great resource for those already so engaged to sharpen the details of their knowledge and practice."
- Spirit of Change Magazine

"With yoga much in vogue these days, the prolific … longtime teacher and disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and founder of Ananda Village, offers an ambitious package of instruction in the discipline.
Kriyananda's long teaching record shows his ability to discuss key yogic concepts and practices in simple terms. B&W photos illustrate form, and each explanation includes a helpful statement of the benefits of each pose."
