Synopses & Reviews
Yoga has been practiced for more than five thousand years, and close to eleven million Americans are enjoying its health benefits currently. However, those who are not height/weight proportionate have been excluded from trying yoga to improve all aspects of their lives. Unfortunately, there are very few yoga classes that are geared toward those who are plus-sized. After clearly explaining the components of Kundalini Yoga and how to practice yoga and meditation at home, the book then details nine postures, seven yoga sets, and eight meditations. Guidance is provided on possible challenges the plus-sized might experience. There are even short (three-minute) meditations for those who don't have time to meditate. Those with smaller waists will also find the material in this book helpful. All this is done with lightness and humor while stsill being true to all elements of yoga.
About the Author
Donald Keith Stanley spent twenty-two years in the natural foods industry, and after retiring, pursued his dream of helping others achieve their potential. Stanley has been a spiritual seeker and truth student for twenty-five years. He has traveled literally around the world accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experience. He has been a yoga student for many years as part of his own spiritual path. Yoga has been instrumental in his physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. To write this book, he hired a yoga teacher with more than thirty-five years of teaching experience, held workshops with the plus-sized to test the yoga, and had six yoga teachers review the book during production. All this effort led to the book receiving the Seal of Approval from the Kundalini Research Institute. It is his hope that the practice of yoga can begin to help many others.
