About this ebook
Want To Learn The Fastest, Easiest Way To Get Started With Yoga?
Here Is Your Chance to Learn Yoga Practically Overnight!
Everyone knows that yoga & meditation are two of the best things you can do for your mind and body. They've heard how they can help all sorts of conditions including:
- Depression
- Stress
- Obesity
- Cancer
Despite this, most people don't get around to learning either yoga or meditation. It's not because they are incredibly hard to learn - they're not, especially if you follow this guide. It's because of something we all lack: time. We now have less time than ever to do even the things we like and enjoy, never mind start something new.
Luckily for you, that's no longer a problem, because I have found an easy way to learn yoga without even having to leave your own home. And best of all, it only takes 10 minutes a day to achieve it!
I know it seems hard to believe. I mean, to be able to learn an ancient technique that will lower your blood pressure, increase your flexibility and bring you true peace of mind in such a short space of time... and that will reduce weight, cure sleep problems and bring you the strong, lithe body you have always wanted without any effort... not to mention its anti-aging benefits that include increased bone density, smoother, clearer skin and a biological age way lower than your actual one.
I realize this all seems to be too good to be true at first... Until, that is, you read "The 10 Minute Yoga." It's written so that you can take your information in bite-size chunks if you wish and apply it before moving on to the next nugget of incredible information.
Along the way, you will learn how and why yoga and meditation work so well with chapters on such fascinating subjects as:
- Yoga For Healing - Learn How To Tap Into The Profound Healing Power Of Yoga
- Ujjayi Or The Special Yogic Breath - The Secret Source Of Prana Or Life Energy
- The Energizing Breath - The Breath That Will Revitalize You Even At Your Lowest
- Visual Meditation - The Ancient Method Of Stilling Your Mind
- Mandalas And Yantras - Their Symbolic Meanings And Power

These stories become more important also because less and less people take the time to learn about the tradition and meaning behind yoga, and have begun to think about it as only a physical exercise.
Of course the poses, or asanas, are important—but people forget, or don’t know, that there are actually 8 limbs on the tree of yoga, and the asanas are only the third limb (more on this later!).
Hopefully, this book will help clear up questions about the true meaning of yoga and the deeply rooted traditions behind the physical practice most people are familiar with, and will help to teach you about the less-discussed but most important pieces of that tradition.
Let’s begin with the basics—What is yoga?
The word yoga comes from Sanskrit, and translated literally means to yoke or unite together. The Yoga Sutras, one of the most important teachings in yoga, by Patanjali, say that it is practiced with
