Product Description

Product Description

Ashtanga is a dynamic form of yoga that involves a combination of stretch, strength and endurance. Traditionally, ashtanga has been the preserve of men and, until recently, practiced only in India. This situation is changing, however. More and more women are finding that ashtanga has a lot to offer them in terms of an energizing and empowering experience on physical, spiritual and emotional levels. Ashtanga is experienced by each individual in a different way. Although the sequence of postures remains the same, those who practice them meet intensely different challenges. Women who are larger or smaller, who have given birth or not, who are older or younger will all have different experiences of the sequence, but the experiences will always be life-enhancing. With clear photography of the primary series of poses, background information and interviews with yoga practitioners, this text shows how practice of this form of yoga is suitable for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yoga book out there, 29 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga for Women: Invigorating Mind, Body and Spirit with Dynamic Yoga (Paperback)
I was looking for a yoga book to complement my yoga lessons and help me with postures when practicing at home. I looked at several different books and this one stood out from them all. It explains all the postures very clearly with pictures, descriptions and when to inhale and exhale. All the postures are named in both English and Sanskrit and all contraindications are listed. I have been to many of Michaela's classes in London and she is an inspiring teacher and this really comes through in the book. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, helpful and encouraging, 8 July 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ashtanga Yoga for Women: Invigorating Mind, Body and Spirit with Dynamic Yoga (Paperback)
A great book for yoginis and male teachers. The Primary Series is clearly illustrated with useful boxes explaining which postures should be avoided during menstruation and pregnancy. The really interesting stuff is at the back where you'll find sections on pregnancy, moon, sun and even which postures have been used as birth control! The authors' enthusiasm for life and astanga shine through, it's a pleasure.
