This well-preserved first edition of Richard Hittleman’s “Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan” offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the yoga craze in the United States. Published in 1969, at the height of the counterculture movement, this book introduced many Americans to the ancient Indian practice of yoga for the first time. Hittleman, a pioneering yoga instructor and author, played a pivotal role in demystifying and popularizing yoga in the West. His accessible, no-nonsense approach made the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga accessible to a mainstream audience. This copy, with its worn but intact dust jacket, invites collectors and readers to explore a significant cultural artifact that reflects the era’s yearning for alternative paths to well-being and self-discovery.
