Product Description
Synopsis
This fully illustrated book offers a firm grounding in sequences of key power yoga postures (also known as astanga vinyasa yoga). It enables enthusiasts to perform and develop flowing postures and also to tune into the more subtle elements of this dynamic, empowering practice. The book aims to make poses accessible to all by offering detailed guidance on the sun salutation, as well as on foundation standing, balancing, seated, and finishing postures. Step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow captions offer clear, precise instructions to help readers understand how to consolidate yoga learned in a class, and to take the classic yoga postures further with awareness, control, and safety. Easier and harder variations of each posture, as well as hands-on teaching points, also are given throughout the sequence. This is a complete course with a clear step-by-step breakdown of each pose, based on the traditional astanga series, and a refresher course for those already practicing. The term "power yoga" is not concerned with external power, but rather with internal power: an individual's courage to be grounded in the present moment.Implementation of power yoga's subtle "eight limbs" (astanga) - ethics, self-discipline, ujjayi breathing, postures (asana), concentration, meditation, absorption, and sense withdrawal - can help practitioners to transform negative patterns into positive ones, ease emotional or physical discomfort, and attain more integration and balance. - A new approach for all those who have enjoyed yoga classes and want to develop and progress - Comprehensive course with a clear step-by-step breakdown of each pose and its benefits - Step-by-step photographic sequences for each posture - Em-power-ing information on vital yoga components such as breathing, energy seals, meditation, gaze, postures, and flow in the context of each posture - Full instructions on how to individualise your own routines - Exploration of common blocks to perfecting the poses, and guidance on making breakthroughs - Particular attention to body alignment and positioning - Suggested programmes from 10 to 75 minutes long - Unique spiral stand-up format that allows the book to be used at eye level or next to your yoga mat

Power Yoga at home,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Yoga at Home: A Practical Guide to Mastering Astanga Vinyasa Yoga Techniques (Paperback)
It's exactly the type of yoga book I was looking for. Having done some classes I wanted to be able to keep up the practice at home. This book allows me to do just that, reminding me of what I have already learned and giving tips on how to achieve correct poses. Almost like having a teacher there with you. And the spiral bind lets me practice and check with the book at the same time. I'd advise anyone with a bit of Astanga yoga knowledge to buy this one.
