 Yoga for Inner Strength |
by Jesse Chapman
Postures for your body, mind and soul. Australia's bestselling yoga author returns with her fourth book, Yoga for Inner Strength, with new cover branding and styling.
Yoga for inner strength is one of the latest developments in yoga to become popular, and forms a more intense and active practice for the yoga enthusiast. It is based on Vinyasa yoga (a 'vinyasa' is a series of rapid movements which warms up the body all over).
This very active form of yoga moves a person quickly through the poses, not holding them as long as in other styles. It is virtually guaranteed to make them sweat a lot and is not for the faint of heart, giving a real challenge to the muscles.
Vinyasa yoga became famous through celebrities such as Madonna using it to tone up after the birth of her son.
The yoga is more challenging in this book than other books, so it will greatly appeal to the ever increasing fitness market and those already practising yoga but wanting to move into something more dynamic. |

Partner Yoga |
by Jesse Chapman
A fresh approach to Yoga with over 100 sequences for your
workout.
Working in partners or pairs is an effective and popular
way of structuring a yoga class. People who do not know
each other are brought together in a space of openness,
trust and caring. A silent room of strangers suddenly transforms
into a kids playground, any pretensions, doubts or fears
melt away and two people become one in the yoga journey.
This reflects the essence of yoga, that of union.
Traditionally yoga was taught one-on-one, from guru to
disciple. Today classes are rapidly expanding to the point
where breaking groups up into pairs is often essential to
'manage' the class and utilise space and time efficiently.
As a result of this common practice, more and more people
are becoming interested in taking their yoga practice home
to share with friends and family. Getting in touch with
each other and synchronising each other's breathing brings
a oneness and togetherness to the practice. |

Yoga as Medicine - Timothy McCall |
This book contains three parts, in addition to comprehensive appendices: Yoga as Medicine (a general overview of the benefits and how to find a therapist), The Practice of Yoga (an overview of the schools of yoga, practice, and finding a teacher), and Yoga Therapy in Action (separate chapters for specific ailments such as , heart disease, IBS, MS, insomnia
, and many more.)
The first two chapters provide so much vital information. He warns that those with serious medical conditions should seek one-on-one instruction, as opposed to taking a class. He also defines the terms such as chakras, prana, asana, and their relevance. And he details how to breathe as well as giving tips on meditation techniques, acupressure, and acupuncture.
Once you’re ready to dive into Part Three, you’ll find that the chapters are written by other experts who have experience working with patients with that particular condition. Each chapter is lengthy, but a concluding page of bullet points summarizes major points. Not only do these chapters include foods to eat and lifestyle changes to incorporate, but they also advise that some Western medical practices may be beneficial—such as flu shots, baby aspirin
, and, in the case of Menopausal symptoms, maybe even short-term HRT.
The book’s appendices include tips on how to avoid specific yoga injuries. You’ll also find a resource guide that includes related web sites as well as a list of teachers, therapists, and yoga centers. There is also a helpful glossary of Sanskrit terms.
