your being. This system has evolved over millennia to offer advice and counsel on such

much more. Consequently, various branches of yoga have developed that place varying
degrees of emphasis on each of these aspects. Throughout this book, you will find detailed
information that will enable you to pick and choose what seems most appropriate to your
own current needs and desires.
