For a person who has never attempted yoga before, it
can seem downright daunting. Not anymore! Geared toward
the absolute beginner, Idiot's Guides: Yoga teaches
dozens of basic yoga poses using a series of full-color,
step-by-step illustrations that allow you to clearly see
how every aspect of a pose is executed. Realizing that
most people who are new to yoga won't be the most
flexible or coordinated, ''Idiot's Guides: Yoga'' eases
the beginner into poses with sidebars demonstrating how
to modify the poses for the less flexible and warnings
to correct improper postures. The poses are also grouped
in small sections, with a practice sequence at the end
to show how to connect the poses into a routine.
''Idiot's Guides: Yoga'' also grows with you: when
you've mastered the basic poses and become more
flexible, you can move on to more advanced techniques
for more challenging modifications to the basic poses.
Best of all, you'll also learn how to string together
poses into full routines that target particular issues
such as stress and flexibility. Features include: Clear,
comprehensive color step-by-step instructions for dozens
of basic yoga poses. Handy ''Keeping It Easy'' sidebars
show ways to modify the poses for the less flexible.
Advanced techniques show you how to go further into
poses after you have mastered them. Sequences illustrate
routines found in yoga classes, each targeting a
particular area (stress relief, flexibility, meditation,
etc.). |
