Introduction
“Yoga is an ancient and complete humanistic spiritual science which evolved through thousands of years of study and inner experience… There are a variety of yogic paths to suit different human needs and temperaments all of which assist in the liberation of human potential and creativity. Understandably, many of the paths interact and flow into each other and, individually or combined, they are tools designed to help us become caring and considerate, loving and compassionate human beings.”
