Steps to Yoga is a collection of letters and instructions from Swami Satyananda Saraswati to two devoted disciples over the years 1956 to 1960. Although the information and advice given is individual, at the same time it resonates with a universal truth applicable to all aspirants on the path of yoga sadhana. This Book offers a unique Insight into the Relationship between Guru and disciple. About the Author Swami Satyananda was born at Almora, Uttar Pradesh, in 1923.
