Chapter 1 - First Steps in Yoga
Geeta writes about how she began yoga. Like her father she was very ill as a child, almost not surviving at one time during a severe attack of nephritis. This is when her father said that they could not afford the medicines and she must either take to yoga or prepare to die.
Strong words, but a reality. That is when Geeta slowly started yoga and gradually saw her health returning.
Also, seeing many foreign students coming such a long way to study with her father made her realize she must also be sincere and regular. Geeta said she resolved to learn about Yoga and one day be a teacher like her father. She has been doing that since 1961 - 55 years!
Geeta shares her knowledge in this book, writing, "The more I thought about my sisters - women and their particular problems the more I was convinced that Yoga was the answer. This book considers how women can achieve fulfilment in their lives through the practice of Yoga."
Namaste.
