This book is designed to offer a simple and easy-to-implement introduction to yoga. It contains a clear and encouraging introduction to yoga and 32 poses, followed by variations and additional information about menopause and using restorative poses. Yoga is a gentle way to stimulate and stretch all the muscles in the body, improving circulation while helping to prevent injury, osteoporosis and atrophy.
Especially for yoga beginners over 50, this book is a useful introduction and complement to all of the Yoga for the Young at Heart video programs.
A primer for beginners and helpful for all levels of ability, these poses can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Do yoga at home as part of your evening or morning routine, and for rest and restoration after a busy day. The SITTING FIT section guides you in poses as a quick pick-me-up at work or while traveling; and in a special section for women, EMBRACING MENOPAUSE calms and releases stress.
Each pose is photographed and detailed with every movement and every breath clearly explained. The benefits of each pose are described along with fun and inspirational quotes. Alternative poses are offered as well as SITTING FIT stretches.
