Astanga Yoga is a system of practice and philosophy that has been
shaped over several thousand years. Consistent practice is
profoundly transformational: developing the body, evolves the mind
and inviting access to our true nature. In his second book on the
subject Petri Raisanen illustrates the Intermediate series
positions, which are done to purify and strengthen the nervous
system and energy channels throughout the body. The positions are
presented both individually and as an integrated method of
training, complete with clear pictures and detailed text. This
inspirational guide acts as testament to the lineage of Astanga
Yoga by including interviews with the Jois family: Sri K. Pattabhi
Jois, Pramaguru R. Sharath Jois and Saraswathi Jois. Nadi Sodhana
is best suited for practitioners who have been practicing yoga
consistently for several years; however, it offers a fascinating
glimpse into a more advanced practice for all who wish to explore
yoga beneath the surface.
Innovative and easily implemented, One Degree Revolution is
acclaimed yoga educator and leadership coach Coby Kozlowski's
holistic program for personal transformation. Imagine sailing a
boat with a course set for a lifetime. If that route changes by
just one navigational degree, what would happen to the journey? How
far from the original trajectory would we be in one year? Five
years? Twenty years? Well, we would end up in a totally different
place. In much the same way, we can change the course of our life
by making a one degree shift. We don't have to change everything
about ourselves or our world to make a difference. Coby inspires
readers to dive into the insights, experiments, and inquiries of
living yoga: how can I best be with life? How can we make the most
aligned choices, let go of past hurts, and discover meaningful
connections? And what are the most skillful ways we can learn to
savor all that life presents? One Degree Revolution will guide
readers to: -access infinite personal possibilities -celebrate
their authentic selves and start listening to their calling -learn
to let go and trust the unfolding of life -challenge long-held
beliefs and foster transformational change, and -develop their
community One degree at a time.
