A yin yoga practice incorporates poses designed to improve the flow
of qi, the subtle life force essential to organ health, immunity,
and emotional well-being. The postures are moved through slowly and
mindfully, gently allowing tendons, fascia, and ligaments to
stretch as circulation improves and the mind becomes calm.
Experienced yoga teacher Ulrica Norberg describes how to balance
yin and yang on and off the mat, sharing her own experiences and
offering wisdom for adapting the yogic principles in modern life.
Readers will learn to develop their own individualized yin yoga
practice, complete with a yin yoga flow, visualization techniques,
and ayurvedic health principles. Photographs and clear descriptions
highlight proper alignment, ensuring the practice will be safe and
effective.
Join the Movement. Ditch the Diet. Who's ready to stop thinking

energetic, and empowered? Welcome to a refreshing and gloriously
unapologetic conversation about health, fitness and habits.
Award-winning trainer Oonagh Duncan cuts through the wellness
clutter to drop some truth bombs: it might not be six-pack abs
you're looking for-it might be happiness, confidence, and
acceptance. But if losing your belly is what you want, don't let
anyone-including yourself-stop you from going after it. And she'll
show you how to make it happen. There's only one major difference
between those rare unicorns who have managed to lose weight and the
rest of us: their habits. When you acknowledge that following a
diet is not getting you anywhere, and you make a few small changes
to your everyday routine, you'll find yourself happier and healthy
as f*ck.
Two thousand five hundred years ago, Tibetan monks developed a
series of just five exercises, called "rites," which heal and
rejuvenate. This is Peter Kelder's "lost" 1946 "Eye of Revelation"
with new information about these Tibetan Rites and their history.
