The yoga introduced in this book is currently the most popular "Hatha (Hatha) Yoga," literally translated as "Body-Training Yoga." This form of yoga has a long history, traceable even before the Bhagavad Gita, and is also considered a foundation for other yoga practices like Raja Yoga. Since the 10th century, Hatha Yoga has flourished among various religions in India. Hatha Yoga emphasizes physical health and strength training, achieved through concentration, breath adjustment, and physical postures, aiming to strengthen and improve different parts of the body to reach the goal of "unified wholeness." China has long been influenced by this practice, which was later primarily adopted by Taoism as "Guiding Techniques." These techniques are very similar to Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga was introduced to China and absorbed by Taoism, referred to as "Boroman Guiding Techniques." Taoist guiding techniques also spread to India and were incorporated into Hatha Yoga, known as "Chinese Kung Fu." The "Highest Yoga" (Anuttara Yoga) Tantric practice introduced from India to the Tibetan region includes elements of Hatha Yoga, emphasizing Qi cultivation, physical training, and the cultivation of both body and mind. This book specifically introduces the Hatha Yoga practice method in seven-day stages, with clear and detailed explanations. Each day's practice is guided by corresponding philosophical thoughts, accompanied by exquisite action illustrations, making it easy to follow. It provides a reliable yoga guide, allowing readers to practice according to the book. Dedicated practitioners can enhance their physical and mental health, elevate their spiritual realm, and thereby reduce many physical and mental illnesses and social issues. This is a beneficial endeavor for the well-being of society and the advancement of civilization, hence the author's willingness to write this preface.
