That’s right, you heard me. I’ve practiced Hatha Yoga
since I was about ten years old, and it sucks. Why? Well, until two
years ago I considered yoga the most powerful body-mind science in
the world…
BUT IT TAKES TOO LONG! That’s right. Ashtanga
Yoga (also known as “Power Yoga”) is a phenomenal system.
I remember practicing it in a Los Angeles class next to KAREEM
ABDUL JABBAR, when he was winding up an extraordinary career
in the NBA. I figured if anyone would know the truth about yoga and
its applications to health and sports performance, it would be the
great Kareem—so I asked him what he thought. He replied that
yoga was an ideal “foundation” from which to build fitness
and performance, allowing him to compete with players fifteen years
younger! I agree with that assessment, but Ashtanga takes 1-2 hours
a day, just for this “foundation.”
WHO HAS THE TIME? And that sucks, because at fifty-one
years old, if I want to have the energy necessary to power my writing,
lecturing, traveling, martial arts practice and family duties (my
wife and I have just adopted a newborn baby boy, and my seventeen-year
old daughter Nicki deserves a dad who can stay on top of it all!)
I can’t afford two hours just for a “foundation”.
Can you? Can anyone?
So I was thrilled seven years ago when I accidentally discovered
a “secret” yoga system—it’s been famous on
the “Yoga Underground” since about 1939, but you’ve
probably never heard of it—a complete basic health and fitness
system that takes only about TEN MINUTES, and is
so powerful and effective that it’s known as “The Fountain
of Youth.” I experimented with it, and found that I could get
about eighty percent of the health benefits of Ashtanga in only twenty
percent of the time. Great! And for the next six years I practiced
it every day.
(Yes, this secret is included in the “Five Minute Miracle”,
but that’s not the best of it!)
