On International Yoga Day last year, Rochak Press of India Published Yoga Song. For sale on Amazon India at 1,417.92 rupees it looks odd and sounds expensive for people in the Earth’s most populated country, but a rupee is 0.012 U.S. dollars (India’s population recently passed China at 1.42 billion).
Even with a robber baron-sounding price, Yoga Song has generated interest from publicity in The Taj Mahal Review, Cyberwit, and the powerhouse book sellers Shree Hanumanth of India. Om Yoga Magazine (UK) Asana International Yoga Journal (India), and American Rider Magazine have also alerted their reading audiences to this book and I thank them.
I’ve been grateful for reviews, comments, and exposure from individuals who’ve written on Amazon or directly to me. And I’m grateful for opportunities to offer Yoga Song for sale here in the U.S.
My thanks to all who helped me with these two big undertakings: editors and book-format people for the paper version, and audio executives and sound engineers at Lantern Audiobooks. My friend Charlie Harvin, living in Bulgaria, designed the cover. People have complimented its look.
This year I recorded Yoga Song through Lantern Audiobooks, and it is now available on Lantern and 30 other worldwide distribution networks. On some it’s free with a trial and on others, less than five bucks.

— To paraphrase the words of Gil Scott Heron, ‘yoga will not be televised,’ and there are good reasons yoga is not televised. It’s not made for TV; it’s made for transformation for those who practice it. Transformations take place through yoga’s hatha (force) of opposites by the simultaneous contraction and expansion of the body through poses. Bodily functions are intentionally stressed and then eased, which opens the flow of energy, blood, fluid, and thought.
That’s just the start, and yogis called this process the stira and suka, or the application of rest and force in equal and opposite directions. It is a science, and it’s play. In this playful, yet serious curriculum of yoga, yogis engage with full mind/body/spirit attention leading to change, and every breath taken – then released – leads everyone back into their moment. Yoga simply heightens and intensifies this work of breath – animating their inner guru – and a therapy formed in the heart sparked in the mind, and to our great benefit, registered in our bodies. —
