Summary

"Western doctors make quantitative, objective observations on the bodies and the minds of others, and from such experiments are able to construct a general model of the body/mind. On the other hand, Eastern yogis make a qualitative, subjective observations of their own bodies and minds, yielding a model of the body/mind with little or no apparent relavance to that of the Western doctor. This Handbook attempts to reconcile these two points of view, discussing many basic aspects of physiology and then applying these ideas to the practice of the yogasanas, as well as pointing out many phenomena well known to yogis, for which Western medicine has only a feeble explanation"--Back cover
