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

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

looking forward to learning to relax easier.
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/
