This fine work by Abhedananda describes the five types of yoga (Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, and Gnani) and their various purposes. It also speaks about Yogic breathing at some degree of depth, and finally delves into what was a pressing Western conundrum at the time; was Jesus Christ a Yogi? A number of secondary works by other authors are mentioned here, for those which wish to practice the five different types of yoga, typically beginning with the Hatha, or physical form.

Hatha Yoga: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is the final Atkinson (Ramacharaka) title on the subject of yoga, and is somewhat intermediate between the very hands on how-to content of his work on Raja Yoga, and the abstract and philosophical discussions in Gnani Yoga. It combines scientific new thought with calisthenics and breathing exercises meant to strengthen the body, improve overall health, and aid with focus and attention.

A few passages under the "breathing exercises" section are taken from a previously edited work, "Hindu Yogi Breathing Exercises" also by Ramacharaka.
