I've been following Mr. Hittleman's guidance off and on for nearly 50 years, starting in the late 60's. What is nice for myself and others is that he strips away the mysticism and focuses on the exercises. If you need the mystical part of Yoga, then you can read about that somewhere at the end of this book or in another one, but the exercises are front and center of this important work. I've seen people in their 80's pick up his exercises and within a few weeks have flexibility and stamina that they've not enjoyed for years.
