This book is primarily concerned with this Yoga of the physical
body known as Hatha Yoga. While the body and the mind cannot be
separated and the health of one affects the health of the other,
I have laid stress on the day to day problems and ailments of the
average person who wishes to improve his general health. Not
everyone has the mystic vocation to achieve union with God, the
Universal Spirit, which is the primary aim of all Yoga, but
everyone would like to know how to improve his health.

Many Westerners, moving as they do in a world of hurry and
stress, feel that Yoga holds nothing for them and that the whole
philosophy is rather remote, vague, and impractical. In this book
my aim is to show readers how the ancient system of Yoga provides
an effective answer to the many problems of our modern life. You
can take an active part in the hurly burly of everyday living and
Yoga will act as a protection from the numerous stresses of your
environment. While best results are obtained by exercising and
practising breathing and relaxation alone, nevertheless you need
not become a hermit to achieve success and improved health
through Hatha Yoga.

Recognizing then that you are not a mystic and you do not wish to
spend years in meditation and mental discipline to find the true
meaning of God and Life, how then can Yoga help you? Let us
consider your problems. Are you overworked and tense and do you
find it impossible to relax even in bed at night? Are you
overweight yet lack the will-power to diet? Do you sometimes find
yourself unable to cope with the dash and tumult of everyday
life? Are you irritable, worried, nervous? Are you plagued by
indigestion and other stress symptoms? Or simply do you seek
something, you know not what, which goes above and beyond the
superficial level of everyday living?

Yoga awaits your interest, your inspection, your first hesitant
experiments. It is here, it has always been here, it is yours for
the taking. Those who have delved into its profound philosophy
and studied for years with patience and devotion to learn more
and more have found something unique, priceless, and
indestructible.

The uninformed often speak of Yoga as some dark, hidden practice
of magical rites for attaining wondrous powers. While it is an
indisputable fact that some advanced Yogis are indeed possessed
of such powers, they reached their state of heightened
consciousness, not by bell, book, and candle, but by the
disciplining of the mind for which the first step is the
perfecting of the physical body, through Hatha Yoga.

The inner power of Yoga becomes apparent when one realizes that
it has something to offer every thinking person, here and now,
yet it is an ancient Hindu philosophy, its beginnings shrouded in
the mists of time. The idea may sound fanciful but the proof is
manifold.

Hatha Yoga is the preparation for all the higher forms of Yoga
and, because of its benefits to the body and the mind, it is the
most popular form of Yoga and the most acceptable to Western
habits of thought. At the same time it is the most misunderstood
science on the face of the earth. Many well-meaning, but
misguided individuals have a disparaging attitude towards Hatha
Yoga, because its special province is the physical body. But the
sages who formulated the disciplinary science of Hatha Yoga
recognized that the first thing man desires and needs is health,
so they devised the best means of attaining and preserving it.

While Hatha Yoga is the cause of much apprehension among people
who effect to despise things physical and concentrate on higher
matters, it has always been a source of interest to me how anyone
can meditate on Higher Things while doubled up with pain or
suffering any kind of physical discomfort.
