Basic Education Of The Body

More about the book

This book offers five different exercise programmes, each designed to give a complete workout to the entire body while using limited time, space, and equipment. Originally issued as five separate booklets, this new publication brings together these sets of exercises, designed by the Director of the Physical Education Department of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and notable for combining traditional Indian approaches, such as the use of asanas, with more modern methods. Included is a minimum physical fitness test adapted to age groups and gender. All the exercise programmes are accompanied by precise instructions and illustrations of each pose.
