Books that ask for effort
Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā. Yoga-Kuṇḍalinī Upaniṣad. Śiva Saṃhitā. Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā
These books teach seats, breath, seals, and locks. Some of them tell a student to stir the coil and to hold the breath.
This site tells you they exist. It does not teach those drills. The only practice here is to lie down for four minutes.
