Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface it may appear that yoga is yoga is yoga, but take a closer look and you’ll discover myriad different yoga systems and lineages. There are dozens of yoga styles to choose from, and while yoga is for everyone, not every style is the perfect fit for every person. But how do you choose between mysterious-sounding names such as Ashtanga, Kundalini, Bikram, and Kripalu? As Meagan McCrary discovered when she began exploring different classes, finding the right style is essential for establishing a steady yoga practice. Pick Your Yoga Practice is the first book to describe the most prominent yoga styles in depth, including teaching methodology, elements of practice, philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, class structure, physical exertion, and personal attention. Those new to yoga will discover they have options and can confidently attend a class of their choosing, while experienced practitioners will expand their understanding of the vast world of modern yoga, and perhaps find themselves venturing into new territory.

Download or read book The Modern Yogi s Guide To Self Exploration A Creative Journey Through The 7 Chakra System written by Ely Bakouche and published by Shut Up & Yoga. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of reflections, prompts, tools, and practical exercises to support your self-discovery, mental, emotional, physical well-being and healing in a sustainable way. What You'll Find Inside: ✔ An introduction to the myths in our modern understanding of the chakra system and alternative ways of thinking ✔ 7 chapters based on the ancient wisdom of the chakras to anchor your reflections and healing in various topics like emotional awareness, confidence, or belonging ✔ Everyday challenges & exercises to widen your understanding of your yoga practice and integrate seamlessly into your daily life ✔ Illustrations by artist Katya Uspenkaya Author's Note From a very early age, I’ve felt like the world was spinning too fast. I was always playing catchup and going against my inner, natural pace. Yoga for me became a way to connect with my intuitive rhythm. It has taught me again and again about what it means to simply be, with myself and with the world around me. After a while, I started wondering if I could stay as present in everyday challenges and happenings as I was when I was moving and breathing in my asana practice. I’d started on a yoga mat but my practice never felt quite powerful enough to infiltrate all areas of my life. Why was it so difficult to say no to things I didn’t want to do when I’d been learning about that in my physical practice? Why would I not let myself “flow” in my creative projects as much as my breath during meditation? This book is part of my journey of discovering how yoga can truly be a practice of every day, every hour, every minute. It is a collection of my attempts at putting together building blocks of awareness, so I always find pockets of connection whether I’m sitting on a loud train, cooking a meal, or deep into my email inbox. I hope you find comfort and ways to cultivate confidence through these pages. May the reflections and practice build the freedom and intuition you need to let the wonderful practice of yoga take the shape it needs to serve you and your communities. With love and curiosity, Ely

Download or read book Yoga for Beginners Your Guide to Master Yoga Poses While Calming your Mind Be Stress Free and Boost your Self esteem written by Alexander Yamashita and published by White Flower Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga is a belief that a man's mind, body and spirit should work in harmony with the environment and his own self. To achieve this, his emotions, actions and intelligence should all be in balance. Most people nowadays are more interested in yoga as a form of exercise. Many are practicing yoga because it is proven to help calm the mind, reduce stress, relieve pain, and lose weight (which most often translates to an increase in confidence). As a matter of fact, many doctors now accept its therapeutic benefits as they've seen it do wonders on their own patients. Some who are not familiar with yoga think that it is an exercise composed of poses that are also impossible to do. This is why some people become rather hesitant about practicing it, or even trying it. Though it may be true that some poses require impressive flexibility, there are many poses that can be done by beginners or those who are still inflexible. With this book, you will learn everything about how to begin practicing Yoga. It will teach you some basic techniques on how to prepare your body, mind, and spirit. It will teach also teach you how to slowly achieve the flexibility needed for advanced poses – in a safe, gradual way (rushing things won't be beneficial in this kind of self-improvement pursuit as doing so will only lead to injury). The book will also include basic sequences of poses, which you can use to create an exercise routine. You'll also discover what you need to learn about the essentials of yoga. In other words, you'll know exactly what you should prepare (such as mats and straps) before starting a healing exercise that can help you achieve a balanced and calm mind, spirit, and body. In addition, you will know the proper attire for doing yoga – the sort of clothes that you'll be able to move in. If you're worried that you'll only get to read about beginner-level poses and routines, you will be glad to know that this book also serves as a preview on the more advanced side of yoga. After all, most beginners eventually yearn to try something more challenging. To achieve a proper balance between enthusiasm and safety, several tips are also provided for those aiming to become advanced yoga practitioners. As you might have heard, diet is also an important aspect of this mind-calming, stress-reducing, and confidence-boosting endeavor. That's why this book also features an entire chapter dedicated to proper yoga nutrition. It won't be strict diet though, as you will only be taught how to food items that could help you reach your goal. Of course, that also means you'll become more familiar with those that won't do you any good.
