This is a short guide to modern western Raja Yoga, illustrated by a couple of dozen photos of yogic postures . This little book is a surprisingly comprehensive introduction to the metaphysical background of yogic practice, along with a host of related practical matters.
The exercises introduced here are all fairly easy and well-described. When this was written, Yoga teachers were far and few between in the US, so this was by necessity a self-help guide. While, strictly speaking, I wouldn't recommend trying these exercises without a teacher, at least it isn't hard to find Yoga classes any more.
