The Modern Yoga Bible details up-to-date yoga practices and techniques that increase flexibility and strength, relieve stress, and calm the mind. Inside you'll find a complete step-by-step guide to active flowing sequences (vinyasa flow yoga), slower, more restorative floor-based postures (yin yoga), and meditation. It's an enormous amount of instruction, including: Advice for beginners as well as expert tips for yogis wishing to deepen their practice An emphasis on newer poses and active flowiing sequences Guidelines for combining poses to create your own complete and balanced home yoga practice Guidance on how to modify poses to suit your individual needs and experience This exceptional book stands on its own, or works as the perfect complement to Christina Brown's original category bestseller, The Yoga Bible.
Detailed instructions to numerous yoga postures (asanas), especially with helpful transitions from one asana to the next. However, the many names of the asanas differ from the names used by most American yoga instructors. Perhaps Australian yoga practice uses different nomenclature than American. To add to the confusion, this book does not use the Sanskrit names of each asana. Many yoga instruction books provide both the English and Sanskrit names of each asana.
One of the very best yoga books I have ever found. It really is a bible. Christina explains absolutely everything without complicated instructions. This is THE yoga book for today's yoga practice. I have material here (covering virtually ALL paths of Yoga) to develop and adapt for the rest of my life now, and I've been teaching Yoga for twenty-five years already.
I really liked this book, especially the chapter on breathing. My only (old lady) complaint is that some of the font is too small and too light, which made it difficult for me to read. Good stuff here though and it's very accessible for us yoga beginners.
Great resource for teachers, creative variations, touches on 4 types of yoga and philosophy. Great sequences too! A pretty good one to add to the collection but I rented it from the library. Highly recommend Christina Brown.
