About the author
Jonn Mumford, also published under his yogic name Swami Anandakapila Saraswati, is a long-published author on tantra, yoga, and chakra work through Llewellyn Publications. Ecstasy Through Tantra, one of his best-known titles, presents Tantric sexual techniques as a path to altered states of consciousness, while A Chakra & Kundalini Workbook lays out energy-work exercises intended to build a daily practice around the chakra system. Mumford writes as a practitioner and teacher rather than an academic, favoring structured exercises and step-by-step instruction over historical or textual analysis. His books have stayed in print with Llewellyn across multiple editions, reflecting a long-running readership within Western tantra and kundalini yoga circles. They are aimed at readers who already have some grounding in yoga or energy practices and want detailed technique rather than an introductory overview, with a tone throughout that is practical and addressed to the reader as a student following a course of exercises.
