Product Description
Yoga can tone the body, energise or relax you, balance your emotions and promote good health. In Yoga In Practice Katy takes you step-by-step through 50 core postures, including easier and more advanced versions to suit different levels. She explains the physical and emotional benefits each one brings, whether it is building a strong body, stimulating the metabolism, alleviating specific health problems, increasing energy or lifting the spirits. She also describes how breathing and meditation can bring mental balance and a sense of peace in as little as ten minutes a day. For those who want to know more about the ancient practice of yoga, there are sections on spirituality, the chakras, mudras and chanting - all explained in a way that is easy for westerners to understand. Fully illustrated in colour, with clear and accessible text, this book shows you how to gain the most from your yoga practice, tailoring it to suit your own special needs.

Format:Paperback
I have been practising yoga for several years and have found this book to be one of the best resources for my practice at home.
It gives detailed information (benefits, contraindications, beginners variations) about many of the most common yoga poses. It is thorough, accessible and well illustrated with photos of all the variations. My only criticism is that although it gives good information about devising your own sequence I think it would benefit from some suggested sequences/practices. All in all, I highly recommend this book and although I own around 30 yoga books this is the one I turn to most.

Format:Hardcover
A really good introduction and reference work for Hatha yoga. KatyAppleton has certainly worked with the in crowd, but this book is notpretentious. It is practical, informative, covers a good range of abilityand experience, and gives detailed descriptions of the asanas and theirvariations. I particularly like the detail and progressive illustrationsaround more difficult poses such as the headstand. All in all anexcellent book, highly recommended.
Listmania!
