Dynamic flowing vinyasa yoga for strengthening body and mind Astanga
Yoga is a dynamic and energetic form of yoga that uses the breath to
flow from one posture to the next. The postures, or asanas, are linked
by vinyasa sequences, creating a heat that cleanses the body, while the
mind stays clear and calm. The book begins with the history and
philosophy behind Astanga yoga, explaining the important principles that
any practitioner needs to know. The standing, seated and finishing
asanas appear in the order that they are practised, and postures are
shown in detail with clear instruction, and moderations to tailor the
practice to all levels. The full sequence of the Primary Series is also
shown all together, for easy reference. Finally, there is a section on
abridged sequences, showing shorter, timed routines for everyday use.
Authoritative teaching and beautiful photography make this the perfect
introduction to Astanga Yoga.
