From Women's Health contributor and yoga expert Kathryn Budig-the
essential, authoritative guide to yoga, for beginners and beyond.
Approximately 16 millions Americans now practice yoga on a regular
basis. Devotees can't rave enough about this ancient art of meditation,
breathing, and physical postures that calms the mind and slims the body.
Unlike fitness fads, yoga is worth the hype. The postures stretch and
tone lean muscle mass and sculpt a strong and slender physique-burning
up to 400 calories in a 90-minute session. But yoga does something even
better. It's proven to reduce the biggest cause of weight
gain-stress-which 43% of Americans say makes them overeat.
This definitive volume features:
- every essential pose to help readers lose weight and transform their
bodies
- Total Body Yoga: targeted workouts in 15 minutes or less
- core-strengthening routines for hotter, more satisfying sex
- a healthy, mindful eating plan centered around calming, cleansing
foods
Covering everything from basic postures to relaxation techniques to
avoiding common injuries, The Women's Health Big Book of Yoga is the
only guide readers need to achieve their fittest, healthiest, happiest
selves.
