'Yogic Techniques' deals with both Patanjala Yoga as well as Hathayogic practices. Discussion on the historical perspective of Yoga as an ancient science of self-evolution as well as a system of keeping good overall health proves its practical utility. It provides an in-depth study of the subject though in much a simplified and abridged manner. Techniques of the practices of Hathayoga namely, Asanas, Pranayamas, Kriyas, Bandha-Mudras inclusive of Nadanusandhana are given which provide much needed guidance for a student of Yoga. Additionally, indications and contra-indications of Yogic practices have been extensively discussed.
