Yoga. How and Why It Works - Paperback

Enquiry. Deep questioning. Throughout my life I have seen very little evidence of this taking place. In my early life as an engineering apprentice at Rolls Royce I had so many questions. In my subsequent management jobs in industry I had so many questions. In the engineering businesses that I started the questions begun to be answered. A few life traumas and then retraining in osteopathy and yoga and shortly after, tai chi, matched enquiry with answers. Over 25 years of yoga teaching, answers have come thick and fast. Treating over 6000 patients using my own patented therapy, full movement method, has produced a host of other questions and again lots of answers. What has been a source of astonishment and continues to provide a source of continuing amazement is how much factual information there is out there but how little understanding of how things work. Why do people assume that age brings infirmity when in many cultures it does not? Why do so few find any interest in protecting their health with the worlds most advanced system--yoga Why are so many people inappropriately labelled when they have pain? How is it that so many medical people are so astonishingly ignorant of the most simple solutions to ordinary bad backs? How can so many "medical professionals" be so utterly inadequate with normal people who are in pain? How can one spend 10 years learning and not know of the need to stretch a muscle when it is tight? How can yoga have found so few adherents? Where are the thinkers in the culture? Where are the wise people today? My fervent wish is that this book ends up in the hands of someone who is a thinker and has just not been able to find sufficient power in their own belief, to counter the force of opinion of someone who does not know that he does not know or, worse, is sure that he does know and is unaware of his own supreme ignorance.
