When following along with a yoga class or exercise video, the session would move on to the next pose or the same pose just on the opposite side.

Note: I will make passing reference to Patanjali and his definitive work, the Yoga Sutras, but keep in mind that the traditional terminology isn’t critical—only results are critical.

He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.In this revelatory book, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra offers a simple eight-week programme covering the eight stages of transformation in yoga including transcendence, wholeness and breath.

The first limb of Yoga is about social tactics—using your intelligence to bring more light and lightness into the story you are now living. The author, Chopra walks through each of 8 limbs of Yoga, offering Mantras and exercises to help fulfill each of the limbs.Living in the Light is a great resource for both the philosophy of Yoga as well as the asanas, or physical aspect of the practice.

After I finish that, I will move to the second half of the book to do the yoga poses, and physical part of these exercises.
