"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Insight Yoga

by Sarah Powers

Insight Yoga Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Sarah Powers is widely known for her original ideas and techniques for using yoga both for health and spiritual growth. Combining traditional yoga techniques with the meridians of Chinese medicine and meditation, she has created a practice she calls Insight Yoga; a series of sequences that teaches both the dynamic flow poses (yang) and the more passive resting poses (yin) forms its foundation. Demonstrated by the author in beautiful photographs, the poses balance gentle stretches with dynamic moves for ultimate benefit to organs, muscles, joints, and tendons. Powers offers a basic explanation of Chinese medicine theory, as well as of Buddhist mindfulness meditation.

This is a must-have title for yin yoga fans! Powers presents tradtional chinese medicine theory linked to yoga sequences that stimulate and tone each meridian. Each sequence is laid out in easy to follow photo spreads, with details given within each chapter.

For those unfamiliar with yin yoga, it focuses on gently stretching connective tissue, allowing for greater ease of movement in the hips and spine. If you've been frustrated while trying to increase your flexibility, connective tissue work may be the answer.

This is hands-down the most comprehenisive volume on Yin yoga.
