Journey Into Power. - book review

BY BARON BAPTISTE FIRESIDE/SIMON&SCHUSTER; $27

MOST OF US REGARD YOGA AS A RELAXation technique that combats stress or as an exercise routine that increases flexibility, but Baptiste believes yoga can do much, much more. By adhering to the five-part program outlined in this book, he writes, you can "journey into power in every area of your life" and end up in "a world of bliss" in a few short weeks--even if you're a complete beginner. This transformation will be accomplished with the simplest of tools: yoga postures, a cleansing diet, and meditation. After following this advice, he promises, "your life will be transformed, psychic debris will clear, your body will become strong and fit, and your spirit will be awakened." While such promises may seem exaggerated, Baptiste's anecdotes and his sensible approach to yoga and life are refreshing and seem worth a try.
