About
"I have known Charles Schoelen (Yogi Shalom), founder of the Yoga Center of Fresno, for many years as a friend and co-worker in the field of spiritual teachings such as yoga and meditation. His book is not the product of imagination and abstract thinking, but the fruit of active experience and practical observation by the author. It has been conceived by a man who has studied the science of yoga, practiced, developed and taught it to thousands of yoga students. Yogi Shalom has successful explained the Hatha Yoga phenomena in terms of Western anatomy and physiology. His teachings have been greatly appreciated by his students; many of them are now successful teachers of yoga. Sadhu Balwant Singh Grewal as he appeared when he was a follower Gandhi.
In the field of Hatha Yoga teaching, I consider Charles Schoelen (Yogi Shalom) second to none, in my opinion he is markedly superior to others I have met.
With a pragmatic approach that avoids the hokum and pretensions often encountered in the field, he has introduced many citizens of the San Joaquin Valley to a much fuller and healthier life Dr. George B. Kauffman Professor, CSUF
