Synopses & Reviews
Yoganetics is an easy, accessible fitness program that will appeal to people of all ages and types. Combining yoga and kinetics, movement expert Wyatt Townley has developed a breakthrough fitness system that extends yoga into motion. Townley is a former professional dancer who directed her own company in New York. She developed Yoganetics over 25 years of teaching and a lifetime of study in the field of mind/body fitness. This back-to-basics approach extends beyond the workout, as Townley shows how to incorporate basic principles of Yoganetics into your day in order to increase your metabolism while sitting at your desk or standing in line at the grocery store.
While very gentle, Yoganetics is deep and transformative work. Done on the floor, requiring no tools or accessories, Yoganetics emphasizes breathing and alignment while stretching and strengthening all major muscle groups. Rather than focusing on a static position, Yoganetics explores the nature of transition -- the motion between poses that ultimately hooks them together for a gentle yet effective workout.
Whether you are a beginner or have been practicing yoga for years, with Yoganetics it's how you move, not how far, that counts.
