Yoga was once thought to be exclusive to the mystical Eastern realm, but in fact, yoga is a practical mind and body exercise that can enrich everyone's life physically and mentally. Today, yoga is widely applied, including as auxiliary training for athletes, rehabilitation for heart disease patients, treatment for chronic back pain, and prenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women.
In the "Ardha Series' 'Easy Yoga,'" Georg Feuerstein and Larry Payne use their comprehensive expertise in yoga to explain in simple and easy-to-understand language that anyone can use yoga to improve their health and achieve a more peaceful mind. Yoga is not just a fitness method, but also a life attitude and lifestyle, and more than just a teaching system that combines body, mind, and spirit, containing many life philosophies.
Easterners emphasize dialectical treatment and holistic care when they get sick, while Westerners focus on symptomatic treatment. Yoga, however, starts from a holistic perspective, emphasizing the harmony and unity of body, mind, and breath. Yoga not only strengthens physical strength but also brings peace to the mind, and it is not complicated. While sculpting your outer appearance, it also helps regulate your internal functions and gives you a strength from within.
This book is richly illustrated and focuses on Hatha Yoga. It is divided into six parts, systematically introducing how to prepare, how to relax correctly, how to breathe correctly, and provides detailed explanations of various poses. It also shows how to integrate yoga into daily life as a lifestyle.
