Dear Friend,
Something is very wrong with today's books on yoga.
I was just at Barnes and Noble last week, looking through the yoga section.

I looked at 18 bestselling hatha yoga books, all written in the last 10 years, and not one covered what the great yoga masters call the most important exercise in Hatha yoga.

In my private library of out-of-print yoga classics and yoga books published only in India, the exercise appears in every text. And every text declares it "the most important exercise in hatha yoga."

So why is it that none of the Los Angeles and New York "celebrity" yoga books mention it?

1. Because the technique is difficult to explain in print (though very easy to learn from a *real* teacher),
2. because it provides real spiritual advancement, very very rapidly, (and here's the biggest reason for vain yoga celebrities):
3. because it won't get them on the cover of Yoga Journal looking like a human pretzel with a strained smile

As you'll see from the picture above... the technique sure looks different, but it doesn't look pretty.

So if this technique isn't in any recent yoga books, is it taught in yoga classes? The one word answer: Nope! You won't see it in standard Bikram, Power Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, or "Kundalini" yoga classes. You certainly won't see it in gym yoga classes.

You might see it, usually glossed over, mentioned in a $2000 to $10,000 yoga teacher-training course.
Most "certified yoga instructors" can't even manage to perform it once. Go into your local yoga class and ask to see it!

Those who do know it usually only know of it as a cleansing warmup, part of the 6 purifying actions of classical hatha yoga. But even the medieval hatha yoga classics portray it as so much more...a truly transformative path to bliss in and of itself.

I'm talking about nauli kriya, the development, isolation and churning of the abdominal wall - the "six pack", or abdominus rectus.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the most authoritative ancient text on hatha yoga, says

"Nauli is foremost of the hatha yoga practices. It kindles the digestive fire, removing indigestion, sluggish digestion, and all disorders of the doshas, and brings about happiness"

Now - that said, don't you think you want the ability to bring about happiness at will? To instantly cure indigestion and improve your metabolism?, might you want to have the secret to this remarkable abdominal ability? I think so!...
