Description

The Yoga Science of Breath is a comprehensive guide to the practice of Pranayama, written by the Indian philosopher and yogi, Yogi Ramacharaka. This text offers a detailed exploration of the ancient art of breath control and its central role in yoga practice. In addition to its practical focus, The Yoga Science of Breath also provides an in-depth exploration of the spiritual and philosophical underpinnings of Pranayama, including its role in awakening the spiritual energy within and its connection to the ultimate goal of yoga: self-realization.

Author

Yogi Ramacharaka was a pen name of William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932), the American New Thought author behind a shelf of early yoga and occult instruction for Western readers. Under this name he taught breath, raja yoga, and gnani wisdom in a confident lesson style. With 12 titles in our catalogue, Ramacharaka remains one of the clearest bridges from Eastern practice to popular English self-culture at the turn of the twentieth century.
