Dr. Bernhard deals at length with the many postures, purification and breathing exercises used in the Orient by those yogis who have attained enlightenment. The extent to which he has succeeded in mastering these practices is partly shown by thirty-seven photographs. He shows their effectiveness by describing his own experiences when he underwent the severe discipline of a yogic retreat while studying under the guidance of a well-trained yogi in India. In this way he bridged the gap between theory and practice, demonstrating that yoga is a scientific way to achieve well-being which can b used by a Westerner in the midst of everyday life. By quoting from the ancient yoga texts, great authenticity is given to this science and shows the extent that the yogis went to, in developing it.
