Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Concise Book of Yoga Anatomy is the definitive guide to the study of yoga anatomy--a perfect companion book for any yoga teacher or practitioner seeking to understand the biomechanics of the body as it applies to yoga practice. The book is visually designed in quick reference format to offer useful information about the main skeletal muscles that are central to yoga, with asanas to demonstrate the particular muscles and muscle groups. Over 230 full color illustrations detail each muscle's origin, insertion, and action in order to clearly reveal how the muscles come into play in the movements and postures of yoga. Knowledge of yoga anatomy is paramount to the ability to teach or practice with no injury to oneself or others. With this foundation in place, it is possible to focus on the spiritual element of yoga as well as the physical. Yoga is a union of the two, so where appropriate, the more profound side of the practice is mentioned as it relates to the body. The Concise Book of Yoga Anatomy illustrates the form and function of the muscles first, then interlays the muscles into the yoga posture for full understanding in a clear and integrated way, explaining the technique of the asanas, as well as other important aspects of yoga: pranayamas, the bandhas, and chakras.

Download or read book Tantric Wisdom for Today s World The New Yoga of Awareness written by Acharya Peter Wilberg and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindu Tantric Tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism bore within it the understanding that neither God nor Self are beings 'with' awareness. Instead, God like the Self, IS Awareness. This is not an awareness that is 'yours' or 'mine' - the private property of a self or selves, being or beings - or the product of a body or brain. Instead every body and being is a 'Shakti' - an individualised portion and expression of that singular, universal and Divine Awareness known as Shiva. The New Yoga of Awareness is not a scholarly commentary 'on' the Kashmiri Shaivist tradition, but the most comprehensive and original contribution TO that tradition since its synthesis by the great 10th century teacher - Sri Abhinavagupta. Through its innovative principles and practices, Acharya Peter Wilberg unites philosophy and theology, psychology and metaphysics in a way that makes this yoga not just 'a' new yoga but THE New Yoga - a new exposition of Tantric Wisdom evolved from and for Today's World.
Download or read book The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen written by Talya Lutzker and published by Book Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ayurveda Vegan Kitchen offers people the opportunity to follow an Ayuvedic diet without the use animal products. Ayurveda is a holistic healing system developed in ancient India to increase an understanding of the human body, mind, and spirit. It organizes the elements of ether, air, fire, water, and earth into three body types, or doshas. Although each person is unique, one of these doshas will predominate their constitution and will need to be balanced on a regular basis. Dairy products are important foods in traditional Ayurveda; however, for every milk-based food that Ayurvedic healers revere, there is an equally effective whole-food, vegan alternative. Following the same nutritional principles as traditional Ayurveda, Talya created over 120 delicious recipes that provide healing flavors and harmony to the mind and spirit. Easy-to-follow symbols on each recipe page show how the unique chemistry of that recipe can be used to balance the body'’s constitution. Since a healthy digestive system is at the core of ayurvedic medicine, these recipes will keep you on track and in good health.

Download or read book The Vital Psoas Muscle written by Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located deep within the anterior hip joint and lower spine, the psoas major (usually just referred to as the psoas) is critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well being. The psoas is the only muscle in the human organism that connects the upper body to the lower body, and its importance extends to the nerve complex and energy systems. As modern-day populations grow more sedentary, psoas-related lower back and hip pain, and the ailment of "sitting too much," are on the rise. Even the most active of athletes can suffer from psoas imbalance and pain. The Vital Psoas Muscle demonstrates how to keep the muscle in balance through specific exercises designed to strengthen and utilize this amazing muscle, and discusses its vital role in the emotional and spiritual state of the human being. The interconnection between the psoas and the root chakra is explored, along with yoga poses and postures that stimulate the psoas. Eighty full-color illustrations depict anatomical details, and show the key stretching and strengthening exercises in this practical and comprehensive treatment of the most important skeletal muscle in the human body.
