Download or read book Yoga of the Subtle Body written by Tias Little and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle body If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is about much more than just the body—the practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the psychospiritual forces that animate it. Here, Tias Little provides a way to understand these forces as they relate to an integrated yoga of body, mind, and spirit. He unites somatic concepts and wisdom teachings in this practical guide to the anatomy of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle (or energetic) body. Little is a master teacher who offers us a guided tour of the body’s structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new structural awareness as the basis for exploring the subtle body. In a meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. Further, Little offers readers clear, insightful yoga, pranayama, and meditation exercises that apply these body-mind principles.

Download or read book FOOD YOGA Nourishing Body Mind Soul written by Paul Turner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Paul Rodney Turner the "food yogi" takes you on a journey of rediscovering food and its importance in our spiritual evolution. FOOD YOGA not only offers practical guidance on how to live a healthy and happy life by reconnecting with nature, but also introduces the reader to the power of food as a uniter and a medium for expressing our love for the divine. Food yoga springs from the belief that the kind of food we eat affects our consciousness and subsequent behaviours. All the world's great spiritual traditions have elaborate food offering rituals carefully designed to expand consciousness and all use food as a means to represent or please the Divine and to expand the consciousness of their followers. Food yoga is, in essence, a discipline that honors all spiritual paths by embracing their core teaching - that food in its most pure form is divine and therefore an excellent medium for spiritual purification.
Download or read book The Woman s Book of Yoga and Health written by Linda Sparrowe and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2002-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health is the first comprehensive book about women's health issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors offer a complete yoga program for general health as well as pose sequences that address specific health problems—all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example, in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear instructions that tell how to get into each pose and describe its benefits: chapter one is the Essential Sequence for all women, and includes modifications for people who cannot or should not do all the poses; chapter two is the Restorative Sequence for stress relief and relaxation; chapter three contains advanced poses that energize and tone. The second part is presented in four sections that broadly represent the stages of a woman's life: teen years and early twenties, later twenties and thirties, midlife, and wisdom years. Each section contains chapters offering specific information about a particular health issue from author Linda Sparrowe, as well as sequences of yoga poses from Patricia Walden that address the problem. For example, the back care chapter includes information about common back problems and their causes (scoliosis, arthritis, lordosis, sciatica, kyphosis, among others) with an emphasis on: emotional and psychological roots of some back problems; physiological information about the spine and back muscles; general information about how yoga addresses different areas of the back; and finally, Patricia Walden's sequences of poses that target different back problems with the goal of not only relieving back pain but of strengthening, and healing old injuries and misalignments. Sections of the book include: • Teens and Early 20s: Eating disorders, menstrual health, immune support • 20s and 30s: Back care, pregnancy, headaches • Midlife: Depression, menopause, digestion • Wisdom Years: Osteoporosis, postmenopause, the heart The final section of the book includes listings of yoga centers, instructional videos, yoga equipment, and where to go for more information about yoga.

Hix says, "Her poems don't feel written on the reader's body, they feel written within it." Excerpt from the title poem Breath everything is riding on it under the door winter slides its white envelope past due past due as we move from bed to chair and room to room our lives sighing in the cedars strung on backroads to this place where we go in and out breath by breath gravel and ice underfoot Orion overhead
Download or read book Jivamukti Yoga written by Sharon Gannon and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited, complete guide to the popular, vigorous American method of yoga that is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and scriptures “In this day and age of health and fitness trends, it is assuring to know that Sharon and David encourage their students to draw inspiration from the classical texts of Yoga and timeless scriptural sources. ”—Sri Swami Satchidananda Creators of the extremely popular Jivamukti Yoga method and cofounders of the New York City studios where it is taught, Sharon Gannon and David Life present their unique style of yoga for the first time in book form. As they explain their intensely physical and spiritual system of flowing postures, they provide inspiring expert instruction to guide you in your practice. Unlike many books about yoga, Jivamukti Yoga focuses not only on the physical postures but also on how they evolved—the origins of the practices in yoga’s ancient sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions—the psychotherapeutic benefits that accrue with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when energy flows throughout the mind and body. Jivamukti Yoga, which means “soul liberation,” guides your body and soul into spiritual freedom, physical strength, peace of mind, better health, and Self-realization–the ultimate goal of any practice. Gannon and Life help you understand each of the practices that comprise the yoga path to enlightenment: AHIMSA–The Way of Compassion: choosing nonviolence, respecting all life, practicing vegetarianism, living free of prejudice ASANA–The Way of Connection to the Earth: postures and sequences, breathing, transforming energy, understanding the bandhas KARMA–The Way of Action: creating good karma, giving thanks NADAM–The Way of Sacred Music: appreciating the sacred sounds of yoga MEDITATION–The Way of the Witness: how to sit still and move inward BHAKTI–The Way of Devotion to God: living with love, grace, and peace Whatever yoga you practice, Jivamukti Yoga will help you to strengthen and deepen that practice and lead you onto a path of spiritual clarity and self-discovery. “If there is only one book you read about the practice of Yoga, this should be the one. . . . This book is for anyone who wishes to find transformation through Yoga. I’m grateful for their work and teaching.”—Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, Co-founder & CEO, Omega Institute

The yoga of life is a personal voyage beyond ordinary well-being-a liberating expedition into total, unapologetic union between body, mind and spirit. Cultivating this soul-deep harmony is a lifelong practice that compels you to make peace between your warring facets, stitch wounds so you can heal, discover connection and love in the world around you, and illuminate the divine spirit that resides within. I Am We invites you to unearth the many faces that make up the unique soul called You, and bring them into harmony. These scalpel-sized poems skewer self-doubt, dismiss fear at its source, and excavate the true self from bondage as you live your life to the fullest, every day. Explore your playful side ("A HAND STRETCHED OUT") and the undeniably powerful essence of your divinity ("I AM THE STARS"). Drink in devotion in your daily life ("TALKING WITH GOD") before dipping into a little foul-mouthed defiance ("SOME KIND OF SELF-LOVE"). Swirl in vivid ideals ("HURLING PRAYERS") and stand up for yourself, without apology ("THOUGH STONES SHALL CRUMBLE"). I Am We is a companion, a guide, and the diary you never kept. Surrender into a state of blissful vulnerability or being broken open ("THE SHELL OF ME"). Swim through feeling just-fallen-in-love ("LOVE-DRUNK"). Knock on death's door, and live ("THE FLOW HAS FOUND ME"). With the same artful emotion and engaging depth that inspired readers in his poetic debut (God Whispers on the Wind, 2012), Ursillo's second collection of poems exists to empower your journey of yoking yourself into peace, fullness and truth. "Poems may be written with less ink than could cover a scalpel," Ursillo writes in the introduction, "but can entirely skewer a galactic conundrum down to a morsel for our noshing. A twisted, thorny dilemma loses some of its prickly might when a poem can cut free the rose atop it." I Am We invites union of mind, body and spirit with poems that knit the many faces of You under the banner of One Soul. Explore this collection today and discover meaningful morsels that will speak to you and through you on your journey to wholeness.
