Section 3 systematically outlines the practices involved for working with the Chakras as well as fully detailing the previously unpublished practices of Kriya Yoga.

Moola Bandha – The Master Key
Undoubtedly, this is the most detailed work so far produced concerning Moola Bandha, a Tantric practice much referred to in the classical texts but, until now, one which was little understood by the average practitioner. This book looks at all aspects of the practice - physical, mental, pranic, therapeutic, scriptural - and is an important work for serious students of Tantra and Kundalini Yoga.

Swara Yoga (Tantric Science of Brain Breathing)
Swara Yoga is an important, advanced Tantric practice which involves the study of the flow of Prana (vital energy) as a means to understanding the more subtle rhythms and their effects.

We believe that this is the most detailed published work available on the subject and includes a full English translation of the ancient Sanskrit text Shiva Swarodaya.

This is an important text for advanced yoga practitioners and yoga teachers.

Tattwa Shuddhi (Tantric Practice of Inner Purification)
Tattwa Shuddhi is an advanced Tantric practice which deals with the purification of the inner elements / subtle aspects of one's being. We believe that this is the only published work available which not only considers Tattwa Shuddhi in perspective but also fully outlines the practices involved. This is for advanced yoga practitioners.

Surya Namaskara (Technique of Solar Vitalisation)
Surya Namaskara (Salutation to the Sun) is probably one of the most well-known, versatile and vital techniques within the yogic repertoire. This work covers in detail all aspects of the practice and includes useful chapters on its effects on the spine, muscles, vital organs and endocrine system. A practical book for teachers and students.

Practical Yoga Psychology
The great mysteries in our lives are the understanding of our personality, how we relate with other people and the world around us, and our place, if any in the vast scheme of things. The other question we face is how we can improve our personal experience and our interactions with society, so that we live a happy, harmonius and helpful life. For thousands of years yoga has been addressing these questions and supplying the answers to them. This book is an attempt to simply blend the teachings of yoga with those of psychology, psychiatry and other branches of Western sience to give us an overview of the human personality, an idea of where we are going, and guidelines to proceed on our journey.
