Weight Control Through Yoga Paperback – January 1, 1974

An old school approach to practicing yoga for health and well-being. Weight loss occurs by default.

I used the yoga routines in this book a long time ago and got into terrific shape. Well, several years have gone by and I want to do it again. The routines are set up from the beginning stage (when you might not be so limber) to the more advanced stage; the book also shows you how to do each one, along with pictures for each level of fitness. I liked it before because there were 3 different sets of routines that you will do 3 consecutive days. Then, on the fourth day, you return to the first and start over again. I just never got bored with it. It was hard to get stared but once I did, the routines were easy to remember after a few times and I was happy and felt better than I ever did.

Well, I’ve been a big fan of Richard Hittleman and this book is very good and easy to follow. My BIG disappointment is that nearly every page in this book has fallen out due to the misrepresentation in the original description. ‘ said it was used, so no problem, pages were yellow, no problem....’ but no where did it say if you touched a page it crumbled right out of the book. Shame on Amazon!!!!

Richard Hittleman, may he restIn peace, the thoroughly knowledgeable in Art form of Yoga.Spiritual Yogi. The physical body is our home for a short time make it as comfortable as possible.

Richard Hittleman has a great way of teaching yoga in a progressive way. There are beginning exercises that can be done by almost anyone and then the level of difficulty increases as one becomes more familiar with and adept at doing the postures. The book was published in the 70s, but is still good for those wanting to learn yoga starting at a beginner's level and progressing for more advanced practitioners.

I relied on this book in 1972 to help me lose 30 pounds and to feel GREAT. I am still using the same copy I bought then. It's still my go-to for working on perfecting yoga poses and feeling OK about poses I will never perfect. I am thrilled to find it here to give to friends.

This is the book that got me into yoga 45 years ago! It was so awesome to see it after all these years and understand what an awesome book it is and how much it positively affected my life!

This book was extremely hard to find and I really appreciated the seller as she was very fair when it took her longer to get the book shipped out. Some exercise books never get old.

Had this book years ago loved it then love my new copy

so happy to find this, the cover was a bit damaged as in picture but the inside is great.

Sensible advise.
