In yoga, even seasoned practitioners have the habit of working the body from the surface layers of muscle. The muscles are linked to will power and discipline, and working hard on the mat can create unhealthy strain in the body. Author Gert van Leeuwen teaches his unique sequences of standing postures, inversions, forward bends, backbends, twists, and pranayama to get you to optimal alignment and ease. Each thoughtfully sequenced practice is meticulously illustrated so that you can keep this book at your side while you practice.\n\nCore topics include:\n\n• The role of the skeleton in movement chains and sequences\n• How to enhance the body's mobility and deepen body awareness\n• Cultivating a meditation and pranayama practice\n• Instructions and refinement: inversions, standing postures, forward bends, backbends, twists, seated postures\n• Planning lessons for a home practice or a studio environment\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1611800633\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1611800633.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:van Leeuwen, Gert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
