We all know that yoga is great for keeping fit and supple, but how many of us in the West fully understand the rich philosophy behind the ancient practice? So much more than a mere set of stretches, yoga is an entire life-path, in which practice and theory are inextricably entwined. In yoga, as with all subjects, the foundation is crucial, so Yoga Explained takes us back to the physical and theoretical beginnings, showing how we can build our discipline on the core strengths and guard against bad habits and injuries in the future. Using modern teaching skills, based on the popular Iyengar method, Mira introduces over 100 foundation postures in the course of 12 units, carefully designed to progress hand in hand with the insightful, yet simple philosophy that supports the practice.
Uniquely, Yoga Explained offers an accessible and authentic approach to the ancient art. By the end of the book, you will have the confidence to endlessly repeat and build on the foundation postures and relaxation techniques, as well as a strong, essential understanding of the overall purpose of yoga and its key doctrines.
