br Raul
after vols 1/2/3 which were sent ahead as soon as
available, to avoid delay and at no extra cost..
all arrived well before estimated delivery time..
again, in perfect new condition etc..
having now had some opportunity to read thru these vols
beyond initial [delighted] skimming and sampling, the best
amplification is probably that everything mentioned in
my review of vol 1 has been further confirmed..
the more you read and take in the information and
amazing imagery, the more you realize that creative
experts in teaching and yoga have attempted a new standard
for this type of yoga physiology teaching resource..
best advice is still to fully investigate dr longs great
website bandahyoga.com which allows you to go thru these
wonderful books page by page at the click of a mouse..
