Summary

Nearly all of us would like less stress in our lives, a better ability to focus, improved health, and a fitness routine that we truly enjoy. You may be surprised to learn that yoga provides all of these benefits with a system of exercises that can be adapted to any age or level of fitness. 

Today, millions of people practice yoga, from young to old, from the hyper-athletic to those dealing with chronic diseases. Based on extensive studies, yoga is recognized as one of the most effective activities for achieving a healthy mind and body. Yoga's many poses and exercises make it endlessly interesting and emotionally rich, giving you a wealth of options for designing a practice that fits your needs. Isn't it time to get started - not just learning about yoga, but doing it?

The 12 half-hour lectures of Yoga for a Healthy Mind and Body, taught by acclaimed yoga teacher Dr. Heidi Sormaz, are the ideal first step for a newcomer and a fascinating journey of discovery for those who already practice. If you think, "I'm not flexible enough to do yoga," you should try this course. Dr. Sormaz reveals that there is a practice that will work for you and help you on your road to a healthier mind and body.

Should have been a video

It’s very practical and as I am familiar with yoga I can follow some descriptions but some baffled me. On the plus side it’s description of yin yoga made me want to try it and so I have. And love it.

Really good book could of been excellent

But if only the stances and, body diagrams covered the work routines. Were as well as the audio descriptions was. Their are very little diagrams of body positions in the accompanying PDF file. If only after each chapter their were diagrams of the named positions in the Audio book this would a great Book.
