"An ideal book for beginners and a spur to more experienced students" Yoga Magazine This is a complete, illustrated practical guide that takes a traditional, holistic approach combining yoga postures with a healthy lifestyle, especially with regards to diet and meditation. It shows how these teachings are as appropriate today as they were in the past - helping you to cope with stresses and strains of modern life. Develop your own personalised yoga practice following the detailed descriptions of how to work safely and progressively with the postures and breathing exercises of hatha yoga. The author explains the essentials in plain, simple language and uses over 200 step-by-step colour photographs to take you through the essential asanas (postures) and sequences. Special 'box outs' suggest how beginners can adapt the classic postures to make them easier to perform - while more experienced students are shown how to progress towards more challenging asanas as they build up their skills. The practical core of the book is complemented by coverage of yoga's traditional physiological, philosophical and spiritual context, and its roots in ancient India. The idea that the body has its own energy pathways and centres in the form of nadis and chakras is explored in a way that is clear and inspiring to Western readers.

Are you looking for a practice that can provide physical, mental, and spiritual healing? Are you a beginner and want to expose yourself to various fundamental poses for a general overview of yoga asanas or postures? Do you want to align your body and mind to develop a stronger mind-body connection? Are you looking to improve your flexibility and lose some calories? Do you want to build muscle strength while improving your fitness, stability, and balance? If so, Vinyasa Yoga is what you need. Yoga's origin can be traced back to more than 5,000 years ago, but some researchers believe that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. The word ‘Yoga’ first appeared in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda, and is derived from the Sanskrit root “Yuj” which means to unite. I’ve made a complete series on all 10 types of yoga. This is Vinyasa Yoga; others are also available! Vinyasa is a type of yoga that is distinguished by stringing postures together such that you can shift from one to the other, seamlessly, through breathing. With fluid moves and breath control, this style feels like dancing! Just about everybody looks super elegant doing Vinyasa yoga. Commonly referred to as "Flow Yoga," this is often mistaken with "Power Yoga." Vinyasa Yoga encourages self-reflection and mindfulness. It directs practitioners to be conscious of every step, breath, and sensation, and every thought and emotion to provide a glimpse into who we really are and what we want in life. Vinyasa practice produces heat and incorporates a cardiovascular aspect that is rarely present in other forms of postural practice. It gives rhythm to the activity, retains the heat, builds the power of the upper body, and serves as a counter pose to spread the legs and restore the spine to neutral for the next sequence. It is wonderful in its potential to improve the way you feel. It approaches you where you are—which is normally high intensity in today's world, moving in a million directions at once. It reaches you there and brings you back to the inner wisdom that resides inside you. After a busy day, you may come to your mat a little low or stressed, but exit in a happier, more contented present. Vinyasa is great for athletes, mainly for building strength and flexibility. Faster-paced Vinyasa sessions offer more of a cardio workout than other forms of yoga. It may also be a nice choice for those who are a little impatient and don't like slower-paced style of yoga (Hatha Yoga, for example). This tends to be a sweaty, heart-pumping class, but it's not difficult to execute; it's ideal for beginners. This style is also a perfect way to practice the fundamentals of pranayama or yogic breathing. Vinyasa Yoga is a more complete class type since it goes over all the different asana families in a single practice. If you haven't considered Vinyasa Yoga yet, I suggest that you try it out once. It's a perfect way to introduce an aerobic aspect to your yoga practice without turning it into a full-blown, body-weight HIIT workout.
