Features: Yoga was once considered exclusive to the mystical Eastern realm, but in fact, yoga is a practical mind and body exercise that can enrich everyone's life in both physical and spiritual aspects. Today, yoga has a wide range of applications, including auxiliary training for athletes, rehabilitation for heart disease patients, treatment for chronic back pain, and prenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women. In the "Easy Yoga" series of "A-Dao," George Feuerstein and Larry Payne use their comprehensive expertise in yoga to explain in simple and easy-to-understand language how anyone can use yoga to improve their health and achieve a more peaceful mind. Yoga is not just a fitness method but also a lifestyle and philosophy, encompassing many life philosophies. Eastern medicine emphasizes dialectical treatment and holistic care, while Western medicine focuses on symptomatic treatment. Yoga, however, takes a holistic approach, emphasizing the harmony and unity of body, mind, and breath. Yoga not only strengthens physical fitness but also brings mental tranquility, and it is not complicated. While sculpting your outer appearance, it also helps regulate your inner functions and gives you a sense of inner strength. 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.
