The Certificate Course in Yoga  (English, Paperback, Rajiv B Deo)

Yoga as an alternate exercise regime has become very popular worldwide. However, Yoga should be understood as the only mechanism available to us to live a much superior (healthy) and more meaningful (happy) life. Ancient Yogic prescriptions are even more valid and relevant in modern times, where our work life balance is disturbed, overall stress has increased and we are surrounded by pollution and adulteration everywhere. The need for understanding Yoga in an objective way has phenomenally increased. To a modern age student, traditional literature available on Yoga may appear to be lacking in many aspects. The primary motivation for writing this book was lack of a concise textbook on integrating modern view with traditional Yoga. Even after going through the intensive Yoga certification course in Pune India, I was unable to form a seamless collage of all five core subjects I had learned. I am thankful to the Supreme for providing me immediately the required thought space and spare time in Seattle USA, to develop an integrated view of all the five subjects. I am pleased to share that integrated view in this book. This book (The Certificate course in Yoga aka Yoga Certification Manual) bridges the gap between traditional Yoga texts and modern medical + psychological understanding of life sciences. By absorbing contents of this book, you will develop a strong conviction about the Yogic principles. You will also build requisite confidence while integrating/implementing Yoga in your daily life. After mastering the contents of this book, by applying core Yogic principles discussed here, multi-disciplinary professionals can provide concrete therapeutic advice to those who are suffering from the life style induced problems like high blood pressure, back pain, insomnia, constipation, migraine, obesity, diabetes and cancer etc.
