Yoga and Relaxation
Yoga and Relaxation – Tony Crisp
Also titled Relax with Yoga in the Sphere imprint
I had been teaching yoga to hundreds of people in the early sixties, and saw there was a need for a book that covered all major aspects of Yoga in a compact form. I approached Collins in the UK but they rejected the idea. I wrote to them again suggesting they just look at a sample chapter. They then went on to commission the book and it sold so well Sphere later published it in paperback.
Yoga and Relaxation was first published by Collins in 1970 as one of its Nutshell series. Then in 1977 Sphere printed it in paperback under the title Relax with Yoga.
Relax With Yoga is still available at Amazon UK and Amazon USA

A question for Tony Crisp:
Hello,Tony ~ I have in front of me my now,
well-worn and much valued copy of ‘YOGA and RELAXATION’ ~ Collins ‘Nutshell’ series.1970
Due to having read it so many times, two of its
pages, specifically 99/100 and 101/102 have
worked themselves loose and become separated from my book. I remember the text of one of
these pages is Kipling’s poem ‘IF’. These two
pages were those I referred to more than all others hence their having come adrift.
I am writing in the hope that you can mail me the missing text from ONLY these two pages, ie that
which leads on from the bottom of page 98 which ends:
“…difficult or impos-…”
I would be so pleased to regain this text.
Many thanks for the immeasurable value of your
writings and lifelong experience.
Best regards

Steve – Yoga and Relaxation was written when I was still quite young, and so although it still applies I have added to what I learned.
So I suggest seeing these links: http://dreamhawk.com/body-and-mind/the-slow-breath/ and http://dreamhawk.com/body-and-mind/the-arm-circling-meditation/

PANOS DERVISIS
Panos – I think most books are about postures and not about yoga as a whole. I personally feel that the best book about yoga as a whole, from yama and niyama to enlightenment (yoga) is Hatha Yoga by Theos Bernard. It is by a master of the practice.
You could also see Gopi Krishna’s book Kundalini.
Some websites you could explore – in case you have not already done so are: http://www.yogamag.net/archives/1982/emay82/yogbio.shtml – http://www.yoga-teacher-training.org/2010/04/22/yoga-meditation-training-and-the-importance-of-biofeedback/ – http://hartleyfoundation.org/en/biofeedback-yoga-west – http://www.yogaforums.com/forums/f16/biofeedback-and-yoga-4688.html – http://www.yogapsychology.org/art_biofeedback.html
