Category: Yoga & Pilates

There's no doubt - regular practice of yoga makes us feel calmer, stronger, more flexible and more are ease. We feel connected and in-tune with the flow of life. We know all this and so we want to practice yoga at home on a regular basis. But it's almost impossible to make ourselves get on our mat and d o a regular home yoga practice. It seems like there's always a reason why not. Maybe we don't have enough time or the right space to practice in. Maybe we don't know enough to practice by ourselves. Maybe we're not disciplined enough, or have enough will-power. Or maybe none of that is true and there's another reason why we don't practice yoga every day, even when we know how good it makes us feel. That's the premise of Forty Days of Yoga - a powerful, down to earth and accessible guide that takes you on a journey into your psyche and examines what really stops you from practicing yoga. Containing seventeen worksheets, Forty Days of Yoga helps you design strategies to make daily practice possible in your life - no matter what your life is like. This is not a one-size fits all solution - Forty Days of Yoga helps you tease out your personal reasons for blocking or sabotaging your home yoga practice. It facilitates a process of direct inquiry into the mind. After reading this book you'll realise that you already have the time, space, will-power, discipline and know-how to create and maintain your home yoga practice. All you've been missing is the single-pointed focus and clear strategy to make it happen. ...Show more

Available Stock:

Category: Yoga & Pilates

A clear, concise guidebook to the essentials of yogic thought and practiceMany people think yoga simply means postures and breathing. Not true. The intention of this short guide is practical and straightforward: to say what yoga really is and to apply its principles to everyday life. It leads us through the eight-limbed system, a coherent framework that has been handed down and elaborated upon for thousands of years and consists of five "outer limbs," which pertain to our experience of the social world and the operation of our senses, and three "inner limbs," which focus on the mind. Stuart Ray Sarbacker and Kevin Kimple present the eight-limbed system as something that can be turned to again and again to deepen and expand understanding and practice. As an introduction and overview to the essence of yoga, "The Eight Limbs of Yoga "is unparalleled for clarity, usefulness, and concision. ...Show more
