This book explains classical yoga in a modern sense and de-mystifies the principles of yoga philosophy. The benefits of yoga are many and people who practice regularly see great changes in their physical and mental outlook. Classic Yoga explains how to improve your everyday life and find balance and harmony; you will also learn the techniques of yoga and understand all the aspects of yoga living.
This easy-to-follow guide to the benefits of yoga is suitable for all levels of ability. It includes simple warm-up routines and step-by- step instructions for many traditional poses.
Combining the ancient principles of Hatha Yoga with modern stretching techniques, the 50 body-conditioning exercises in this conveniently-sized guide have been designed to increase flexibility, release tension, and boost energy levels. Important information on posture, breathing, and warming up is followed by five 10-20 minute, carefully-designed workouts. Start your morning with Rise and Shine or the Energizer; unwind with De-stress at the end of the day, and perform Classical or Ultimate Stretch at any time. Color photographs walk you through the stretches, which include the Salute to the Sun, the Tree, the Warrior, the Cobra, the Cat, and more. These exercises will invigorate your body, improve muscle tone, and enhance your spirit.
