HP Yoga is earning quite a following across the nation. Why? Due to my unique blending western sport physiology principles with my knowledge of yogic subtle anatomy, asana, and pranayama the overall �Total Body Transformation,� is quick and endlessly rewarding.

What happens when people don�t practice intelligent body/mind practices under a seasoned Teacher? Well, injury is one likelihood and is typified in this classic but unfortunate quote from DL reader, Eric, in New York City: �I have had leg twitches (fasciculation’s) for almost a year now. They began 5 weeks after I sprained my knee at Bikram Yoga.�

The VERY FIRST principle in Yoga is �Ahimsa� or �do no harm.� In this era of �Hot Yoga� and �Power Yoga� the Practitioner must be VERY mature in not amplifying aggressive tendencies during asana or pranayama. Externally heated yoga rooms are, in my professional and personal experience, very dangerous over the long term. Why? The artificially heated air blurs natural kinesthesia making it easy to over stretch and inflict micro tears of the connective tissue and cellular ground substance. I, myself, completely strained my paraspinals during a Bikram class because of the external heat and the �go, go, go� mentality of the �teacher.�

Yogi; Be aware. Please enjoy a more intelligent and world-class approach to a yoga Practice at HP Yoga. We�ll take quality care of your �Wholistic Fitness.�

Hi Steve

������������ I came across your book (Total Body Transformation)�at a book fair in my city (I am from India)�just a few days back and I�believe it was my destiny to find your book.Maybe it was not destiny whatever it might be I have been looking for a book like this.I have gone to gyms before but have hardly stuck around for maximum a week.I found it too boring to go to gym.I love playing squash and I considered it enough fitness to just play that sport.Then many of my friends urged me to do yoga and I was confused like hell on what to do coz of course I wanted to have a good body at the same time I know how yoga can really help improve concentration etc.I always considered yoga and gym as two seperate displines but when I read your views saying that both are interconnected and even gym helps yoga I was amazed.To have the best of both worlds is such an amazing thought and that I need to gym to have enough strength for correct�yoga postures was something I never thought off.I never thought of an Indian yogi going to gym! but now I see the complete connection.

������������Thanks a lot for writing such a book I have already benefitted from the book spiritually without even actually going through the Green Tara program.I am excited to join a gym again now with the right attitude and complete the Green Tara program first successfully.I have so much more to say which I cannot describe in words and through email but for now will get back to you after completeing the programs.

Dear Coach!

I finally got your book and have started down the Green Tara path

again. Feels good to be back in basement with the iron!

A hearty congratulations on this spectacular scribe. It is featured

on front book carousels and at least one window in the Barnes and Noble stores

in NYC. Your publisher is doing it right.�

Steve,

Beautiful DL today. Could not have said it any better.

Though the practice of Yoga, or running, or… is for me and many others a practice that resonates with and is inherent in their spirituality that to practice yoga does not make them Hindu’s any more than running makes them practitioners of a Native American religion.

– love,

Haku
