Publisher Comments:

TEN MINUTES A DAY CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

As our bodies begin to show the signs of daily wear and tear, and workout programs which once seemed effective no longer meet our changing needs, yoga can be the ideal exercise. Low impact and non-competitive, invigorating rather than exhausting, and with an emphasis on keeping the body supple and the mind relaxed and focused, the ancient discipline of yoga can be practiced at any time of life. The programs in Yoga Over 50 feature:

* Step-by-step descriptions of yoga positions for active and resting poses

* Programs suited to varying degrees of fitness, experience, and flexibility

* Exercises to relieve specific problems, including headache, stiffness, and insomnia

Whether you're looking for an alternative to more strenuous exercise, or a gentle yet efficient way to stay fit, Yoga Over 50 will enable you to reach new levels of physical vitality and mental clarity.

Synopsis:

Low impact and noncompetitive, yoga offers renewed energy and health--and relief from a wide range of physical and emotional ailments. This book provides simple yoga exercises that bring the benefits of this ancient discipline to any person who has to take the body's changing needs into account.
