Title: Disappointed
Review: I was disappointed reading the book, especially since I had started simultaneously on "Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha" by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. I would strongly recommend the latter if you want to learn aspects of Rajyoga/Hathyoga as they were intended to be.Gertrud's book barely touches the surface of this deep subject and at times deviates from the objective. Take, for example, this following para from page 96 as it relates to Kundalini Mudra and sexuality-"If a person feels no sexual desire, but feels good otherwise, then this is fine and normal. When the desire is there, it should be indulged, either with a partner or alone." I suppose, that's not what you want to read in this book.That said, feel free to read a copy from the library, practise the mudras as you see fit, but understand that this is nowhere close to imbibing the essence of the subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
