This book is a thorough introduction into Egyptian Yoga.
One of the premises of the book is that Egyptian Yoga predates and is the foundation for Indian Yoga.
Dr. Ashby backs up that statement in a variety of ways.
The Yoga positions are defined/explained in terms of egyptian gods.
This is a very fresh approach vs. the Hatha/Astanga/Indian way.
Ashby also goes into Egyptian Mythology to explain the origins and processes of the poses.
He is a teacher of the highest order.
This book is accompanied by a DVD, which I will soon get.
