Pages : 174
Book Description
Yin Yoga, the follow-up to my book, The Key to Happiness, brings you everything you need to begin your journey down the physical and spiritual path of Yin yoga, and to experience the many benefits it has to offer. While everyone has the ability to improve their lives, many people are lacking the knowledge and tools needed to begin. I was once one of these people, working as a detective with the police force. Overcome by stress, fear, and unrest, I turned to the yogic lifestyle, becoming a certified Experienced Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP). After fifteen years of walking the path of the yogi on my spiritual quest, this is what I have discovered, and I would like to share with you this knowledge and the tools needed to accomplish your goal of a better life. While you may be familiar with standard Yoga classes, Yin yoga is much more powerful and meditative. This process focuses on promoting a deep physical, spiritual, and mental awareness. Rather than just working the surface of your joints and muscles, you can work your deeper tissues. Your connective tissues and fascia are included in the poses as well. People often lose vital flexibility as they age, with stiffness in the fascia causing pain, which results in the muscles becoming overworked. Yin yoga helps to increase flexibility and overall health as you age, reducing the risk of injury. By simply reading this book, you can gain the insight and understanding you need to start practicing Yin yoga today. At this point in your life, you may be the caterpillar that, with time and dedication, transforms into a butterfly through the power of the yogic lifestyle. All you have to do is begin. In This Book You Will Find: The history of yoga, and how it affects yoga today The four key principles that define Yin yoga How traditional Chinese medicine is deeply integrated into Yin yoga The Meridian channels and five elements of Yin yoga An in-depth scientific explanation of the benefits of Yin yoga How to utilize the power of the breath My Vipassana Approach to the practice What is limiting your range of motion How to master 19 Yin yoga poses and their variations (for a total of 51 asanas, including photos, as well as an extra section for shoulder and neck health) And more... If you are looking for wellness of mind and body, and you are ready to learn more about deepening your practice, my book, Yin Yoga, is for you. Don't waste another moment, BUY IT TODAY!

Notes on Yoga

Book Description
Legendary yoga teacher Vanda Scaravelli, who died in 1999 at the age of 91, developed an approach to yoga that is radically different from most forms of yoga taught today. The nature of the practice she taught is subtle, and therefore difficult to grasp, and her own book, Awakening the Spine, inspires through its philosophy and images but does not go into detail when describing the practice of asanas. Notes on Yoga is the first book to explain Scaravelli's approach in full, and is bound to be an indispensable guide to Scaravelli yoga for both students and teachers.During Scaravelli's 40 years of practice she accepted only a small number of individual students, all of whom were teachers. Diane Long and Sophy Hoare were both long-term students; Diane Long was the first of Scaravelli's regular students and studied with her for 23 years.
