Self-Perfection with Hatha Yoga

A guide to understanding and practicing yoga, accompanied by tips on nutritional education, relaxation, and mental attitude.

Hatha Yoga, also known as Yoga of Strength, has the power to heal, uplift, soothe, and liberate. The practice of asanas—poses that help us develop greater body awareness—and breathing exercises called pranayanas provide flexibility, balance, improved conditioning, and a high-quality life. Professor Hermógenes, a leading figure in Brazilian Yoga, has followed thousands of cases, raised hypotheses, reached conclusions, and developed his method of widely proven validity: a method with great therapeutic potential capable of reducing human suffering. Self-Perfection with Hatha Yoga will explain why Yoga is neither gymnastics nor religion. It is comprehensive self-training whose ultimate goal is to bring physical and spiritual well-being.

Self-Perfection with Hatha Yoga has already become a classic. This edition was revised by Dr. Marcos AF Fulco, a clinical psychoanalyst and professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, a medical consultant who further enriched the author's proposed method.

" Hermógenes is the master of the spirit. He is a guardian angel of the spiritual dimension of the human being. His radiance inspires all who seek a space for God. Hermógenes is a man of God. " - Leonardo Boff
