Yoga is the key to the union between the Jeevatma (the self) and the Parmatma (the supreme). The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “Yuj”, which means to bind or bridge. Through Yoga we bind our body, mind and spirit, which ought to be united ultimately in our journey of life. These three correspond with the three aspects of yoga. The postures (Asanas) correspond to the body, the deep breathing (Pranayam) corresponds to the mind and the meditation (Dhyan) corresponds with the spirit. Breathing bridges the body, mind and spirit. With regular practice of yoga, the energy system gets balanced, and as renewed energy begins to flow freely and evenly throughout the body, one begins to feel supple, flexible and physically better. Yog-Ethos is a simple compilation of personal experiences and contemporary information for conducting a successful and meaningful yoga session detailing yoga choreography.

The text not only explains what yoga is but goes into the many ways that it can help heal the mind and soul. The author also highlights the fact that yoga can be practiced by any age group, whether they be young or old or somewhere in between. The author also highlights some of the basic types of yoga and gives a brief description of each. This text is well timed as it has been published in a time when many are seeking less strenuous ways to get the body in shape and to get rid of stress. Yoga has started to take over the Western world ever since the many advantages started to be realized. About the Author: Darren Williams has his sister to credit for the current knowledge that he has about yoga. He used to sit and watch her going through the paces and he used to wonder what exactly she got from the process. To him it looked like body contortion with no apparent cause. It was he asked her about it that she opened his eyes to the world of meditation and yoga. He realized soon after he started the process that he was so much more at peace within himself and he also felt as if he had more energy. From that point onward he dedicated his evenings to practicing yoga and learning as much as he could from his sister. He also took it upon himself to learn even more by going to a yoga studio in his neighborhood and doing some of his own research at the library. He then sought to share what he had learned with others and that is how his book came into being.
