Susanna Barkataki
R500 R446 Discovery Miles 4 460 Save R54 (11%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

An essential guide for all yoga practitioners to delve deeply into the tradition and practice authentically with appreciation, not appropriation.

Includes practical advice for embracing yogic values—such as service, non-harm, and truthfulness—in your daily life and relationships and for the well-being of others.

Popular yoga educator and advocate Susanna Barkataki invites yoga practitioners to become stewards of the tradition—bold and effective trailblazers for embodying the roots of yoga. She gives you the knowledge, tools, and language to respectfully and responsibly hold and participate in class and more effectively embody yogic values. Each chapter is full of step-by-step instructions, stories, practical advice, practices, and contemplations and covers the following:

  • The issues with modern yoga in the West today 
  • Best practices for yoga leadership 
  • Learning what equity is in yoga 
  • How and when to use Sanskrit 
  • Integrating yoga ethics into your yoga practice, relationships, and work

While mainstream yoga culture explodes, the teachings have often strayed far from yoga’s traditional roots. The result is a watered-down, often inaccurate or incomplete practice that doesn’t responsibly reflect the rich and powerful tradition. Ignite Your Yoga is an essential guide for all yoga practitioners to delve deeply into the tradition and practice and teach authentically with appreciation, not appropriation.
The Yoga Manifesto - How Yoga Helped Me And Why It Needs To Save Itself (Paperback): Nadia Gilani The Yoga Manifesto - How Yoga Helped Me And Why It Needs To Save Itself (Paperback)
Nadia Gilani
R285 R258 Discovery Miles 2 580 Save R27 (9%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

How did an ancient spiritual practice become the preserve of the privileged?

Nadia Gilani has been practising yoga for twenty-five years. She has also worked as a yoga teacher. Yoga has saved her life and seen her through many highs and lows; it has been a faith, a discipline, and a friend, and she believes wholeheartedly in its radical potential. However, over her years in the wellness industry, Nadia has noticed not only yoga's rising popularity, but also how its modern incarnation no longer serves people of colour, working class people, or many other groups who originally pioneered its creation.

Combining her own memories of how the practice has helped her with an account of its history and transformation in the modern west, Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping. By turns poignant, funny, and shocking, The Yoga Manifesto excavates where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the practice from its own success.

Functional Anatomy of Movement - An Illustrated Guide To Joint Movement, Soft Tissue Control, And Myofascial Anatomy... Functional Anatomy of Movement - An Illustrated Guide To Joint Movement, Soft Tissue Control, And Myofascial Anatomy (Paperback)
James Earls
R670 R599 Discovery Miles 5 990 Save R71 (11%) Ships in 10 - 17 working days

A unique and comprehensive approach to functional anatomy through the lens of myofascial continuities, from the coauthor of Fascial Release for Structural Balance.

Whether we describe them as anatomy trains, myofascial chains, meridians, or slings—insights into the interconnected nature of fascial tissue have had a profound impact on our understanding of anatomy.

The concept of tensegrity—the idea that changes in tension may affect the whole body rather than just one part—has likewise opened up new appreciations for the complex and interdependent nature of real-world bodily movements. But musculoskeletal anatomy still tends to be taught in a drastically simplified fashion, through the study of fixed anatomical positions that do little to prepare us for the reality of actual movements.

In Functional Myofascial Anatomy, James Earls suggests that we need a new set of tools and vocabulary for watching and describing anatomy in motion. Earls argues that it is seeing movement in action—in different bodies and in different environments—that should inform our understanding of anatomy, rather than the other way around.

By situating the different theories and metaphors of myofascial continuities against the context of common real-life movements such as sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls explains how each theoretical system may be useful in different situations and applicable to different issues.

Using up-to-date research, Earls digs into important questions for physical and manual therapists: which tissues really are contiguous? Does continuity of tissue actually show or demonstrate transmission of force and communication along those lines? And does fascial tissue have to be continuous for the body to actually transfer force?

Accessibly written and fully illustrated, Functional Myofascial Anatomy offers practical applications for physical therapists, chiropractors, and bodyworkers, as well as new tools for teachers of yoga and pilates to develop a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement.

Yoga instruction innovator Sage Rountree’s approach to teaching grows from a simple truth: bodies feel better when they move in many different ways and directions.

The fix is clear: Real students need simple lessons taught clearly.

The Art of Yoga Sequencing celebrates students of all kinds, styles, and levels. Grounded in exercise physiology while honoring yoga traditions, Rountree’s new offering includes:

  • 475 inclusive photos demonstrating over 35 full sequences
