What I personally think about the book is pretty much covered by this review I left at Amazon.com, and I encourage others to write reviews as well because they help sales and the ranking of the book:
“Yogani’s most recent book “Spinal Breathing Pranayama” is a comprehensive guide to an ancient yoga technique of breath cultivation that is very easy to learn. If applied only a few minutes every day it can lead to amazing refinements of the nervous system, like perpetual joy and ecstasy, and eventually to enlightenment. Having practiced it myself for over a year I can certainly vouch for its efficiency.
While the size of the book is small, only 112 pages, it describes in much detail all the processes that happen within us as we apply pranayama, what happens during the spiritual transformation into enlightenment, as well as any experiences that may come up along the way, and how to deal with them. It covers how to integrate the practice into anyone’s busy schedule and also how to combine it with meditation, which is the topic of Yogani’s previous book. It is written in the easy-to-read language that the author is known for.
I would strongly recommend it for anybody on the path of self-realisation, as well as for anybody interested in improving their life in general, since both our own life and those around us will be affected by the state of our nervous system, feeling world and mind.”
