5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, 4 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in enhancing their mental and physical capabilities, and improving their health and well-being in the process.

It is more than a picture book of yoga poses; it is a thorough examination and guide to achieving a state of mind-body unification. The premise is "body reflects mind; mind reflects body" and a goal is positive relaxation.

Japanese yoga (also known as "shin-shin-toitsu-do") was developed in the early 1900s by Nakamura Tempu Sensei, one of the first Japanese to receive a medical degree from the U.S. Who he was and how he came to combine yogic disciplines with his own experiences and discoveries is a fascinating story in itself; it also provides a solid foundation for the meditations and exercises to follow.

In addition to demonstrating the stretches and movements which will increase flexibility and coordination, the book offers practical ways to improve concentration and perception. Different forms of meditation and attention exercises are presented in a clear, concise manner--no shrouds of mystery or mysticism here, just a practical how-to guide that anyone with the inclination can follow.

The book is applicable for all ages. The exercises are simple yet thoughtfully challenging (total mind-body unification can be a tall order), and there is enough variety not to be repetitive and boring. Davey is very good at taking us through each step. He explains not only the "how-to" for each but the "why" and "how" it relates to the goal of mind-body unification.

I found this book immensely helpful and highly recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Japanese Yoga disappointing, 31 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Japanese Yoga by H.E. Davey is a disappointing text if you are looking for an interesting perspective on yoga exercises. It is an esoteric metaphysical treatise with most of the book devoted to the author's philosophical path and meditation. There are better books on meditation and Buddhist philosophy. The author concentrates on "positive thinking" dogma mixed with some far eastern philosophy. Very little of the book is of value for someone interested in yoga as an exercise discipline; hence, the title is misleading.
