Title: A very clear presentation
Review: Whether one intends to follow an ancient tradition or not, there is always something to be gained from studying it. Such is the case with "The Hatha Yoga Pradipika." This 15th Century manuscript gives a clear description of the austerities the ancient yogis observed in their search for wisdom. While many of their practices would not be done today, the text is worth reading, even to those who have studied Ayurveda and are somewhat adept in practicing its principles. Brian Akers' translation from the original Sanskrit is concise and easy to follow, a real plus when the subject is so far from today's norm. If you'd like to know what the ancient yogi's life and practices really were like, then this would be an interesting read for you.
