Frank Rudolph Young (1911–2002)

Frank Rudolph Young wrote several books about mental training and yoga, some with lurid titles such as "Secret Mental Powers: Miracle of Mind Magic" and "Yoga Secrets for Extraordinary Health and Long Life". The late Dr. Young was a chiropractor, a bodybuilder, and an athlete with a background in dentistry. He developed a system of exercise he called "Yogametrics" which served as a system of bodybuilding, health enhancement, and spinal alignment. This system of exercise was based on isometric tension, flexion, and an emphasis on decompressing the spine. He was also someone who saw the interconnection between mind, body, and spirit.
