Introduction
Welcome to Turbaned Gurus, Sing-Song Mantras and Body Contortions? 11 Truth A Yoga Beginner Must Absolutely Know About Yoga. This is Volume 1 of this Yoga for beginners series. The first Volume includes 11 Yoga lessons and truths that a Yoga beginner should be aware of before even getting started.
My name is Juliana Baldec and I have been inspired by my sister Alecandra Baldec to get started with this wonderful discipline of Yoga.
I have been applying my daily Yoga ritual for about three months now, but I still consider myself a Yoga beginner. I am so happy that I followed my big sister's suggestions to get started with this daily yoga ritual because it truly transformed my lifestyle, health and happiness.
I enjoy doing it so much that I decided to motivate and encourage other yoga beginners to get started with their own daily yoga ritual and routine, too.
Practicing yoga does not take much time out of your schedule, and if you'd like to learn some cool time management tricks that apply to a healthy lifestyle that includes disciplines like yoga and/or meditation then I highly recommend my sister's book series that you can find on Amazon as well.
She calls it her Daily Ritual Yoga and Meditation Lifestyle series. You can check it out by typing in the search string below into your favorite search engine or marketplace:

She also was the one who inspired me to write this beginner's Yoga book series because beginners are always questioning her with the same type of ignorant questions and some of her yoga students even question the discipline of Yoga as a whole. She told me that the Yoga students who are beginners are very critical about everything that relates to Yoga and hence the title of the book: "Turbaned Gurus, Sing-Song Mantras and Body Contortions? 11 Truth A Yoga Beginner Must Absolutely Know About Yoga".
She gets questions like: "What are the true benefits of Yoga?" "Does it really work?", "Where does it come from?", "What exactly does it do for me?", "What are the differences of the techniques and poses?", "What is the best technique for a beginner?", "Can I beat stress with Yoga"?, etc.
Alecandra already writes books that are targeted to more advanced yoga and meditation techniques so this is how I got involved in this exciting book project and the book is designed to answer all the questions and shed truth on everything that a beginner should know about the wonderful and fascinating world of Yoga. All the answers that a Yoga beginner might ask in the beginning are answered as I go through each lesson.
I will make a series out of Turnbaned Gurus, Sing-Song Mantras and Body Contortions because Volume 1 only covers the first 11 lessons. I intend to answer all the questions and all the important aspects of Yoga that I am going to cover in additional Volumes.
There are other books that talk about Yoga for beginners, but the focus of this book is different because it does not talk about a certain Yoga topic in a boring, drawn out and long winded way, but it gives you a quick and snappy lesson to read and enjoy.
To make the reading process insightful and inspirational, I have also added some fascinating facts and stories about Yoga and I give you some of my own experiences at the end of each lesson. These are the most valuable nuggets that I have gotten out of my own daily Yoga ritual and I am considering myself a Yoga beginner so you might get some additional nuggets out of the book.
I was able to beat my Asthma and breathing problems with Yoga and I will share this story with you inside!
Each Yoga lesson includes some inspirational stories and takeaways that I personally associate with each aspect of Yoga. This is the type of stuff that you absolutely need to know as a Yoga beginner.
The important thing is to get a quick overview of all the aspects that relate to Yoga so that you can make an informed decision about your own future with Yoga.
A beginner of Yoga only needs a short and inspirational lesson so that he or she is enabled and empowered to get started ASAP.
This book is designed for Yoga beginners who like to get started with Yoga, but who do not know exactly where to get started yet.
This book helps clarify a confused mind or a mind with not enough information about Yoga. In short it gives you everything you need to know about Yoga before you are actually going to get into the action phase of Yoga itself.
I hope you enjoy the book and I hope that you will get lots of inspiration and mental stimulation out of the book in order to be able to take advantage of the ulimited benefits that you can achieve with this Yoga knowledge that you are going to discover as you go through the book.
Enjoy your journey through the wonderful world of Yoga!

"In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of Yoga." -- Vivienne Westwood
If you are new to all these Yoga symbols, terminology, and phrases you might be asking are these turbaned experts, sing-song mantras and bodily contortions any good and what is all the fuzz about them anyway?
The guarantee of true enlightenment and omphaloskepsis ( speculation of the naval ) completes the cliche. But do not knock yoga until you have tried it, and then only with respect.
