I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is a brief and concise guide to Nauli and abdominal muscle strength. As a disabled individual who often has to follow adapted exercises/routines I appreciated the modified and lead up exercises since it means I can join in too. I also liked the technique tips alongside the regimes since it can often be difficult to get technique correct from text instructions alone and the accompanying video links were great. I also thought the attention notes at the end were a great touch.
