CONVERSATIONS ON THE SCIENCE OF YOGA Hatha Yoga Book 5

Conversations on the Science of Yoga: Hatha Yoga Book 5 – An Overview serves as an encyclopedic introduction to the principles of Hatha Yoga. Presented in a clear question-and-answer format, it weaves together classical scriptural verses with modern practical wisdom to explain how Hatha Yoga purifies the physical and energy bodies to quiet the mind and unlock higher states of consciousness.

Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati & Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati are two of the most influential yoga masters of the 20th century. Swami Sivananda founded the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh, spreading classical yoga globally, while his direct disciple, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, established the Bihar School of Yoga in 1963 to systematically teach and scientifically evaluate ancient yogic and tantric techniques.
