The Book of Mudras, Bandhas and Marmas: The Definitive Guide to Yoga's Healing Gestures, Energy Locks and Vital Points (THE GRAND BOOK OF YOGA)

The gestures your hands already know. The locks your body has been waiting for. You have learned the postures. You have learned to breathe. Now learn the switches. Volume II of The Grand Book of Yoga is the most complete reference ever assembled on the three inner technologies of yoga — and the first to treat them as one system. THE BOOK OF MUDRAS — 93 gestures, fully documented From Gyan Mudra to Khechari. Each entry gives the exact hand form, the meaning, the practice, the duration, the breath, the benefits — and the cautions. Nothing is decorative. Everything is executable. THE BOOK OF BANDHAS — 11 energetic locks Mula, Uddiyana, Jalandhara, Maha Bandha. The precise mechanics, the correct sequence, and the absolute contraindications. Learn what a bandha actually is: minimum physical effort, maximum pranic intention. THE BOOK OF MARMAS — all 107 vital points. The complete Sushruta map: location, anatomy, governance, therapeutic use, and the consequence of injury. Plus Marma Chikitsa — a full therapeutic manual with protocols for insomnia, migraine, sciatica, digestion, immunity, hypertension, and more. Why this volume is different The three books are not three topics. They are one architecture. Gyan Mudra presses a marma point. Mula Bandha activates one. Jalandhara Bandha exists to protect the carotid. This volume is the first to show you the connections — and to give you the safety rules that make the practice usable. Every dangerous point is named. Every contraindication is stated. Nothing is softened. If you feel a strong pulse under your finger, you are on a vessel. Move aside. 388 pages. Fully illustrated. A working reference, not a coffee-table book. Mircea Iorga has practised yoga since 1979, and biotherapy since the early 1990s and runs the Biomedica therapy practice in Arad, Romania. The Grand Book of Yoga is his twelve-volume reference work on the complete science of yoga — written for practitioners who want the whole system, not a selection from it.
