Yoga for Paddling

by Anna Levesque

Yoga for Paddling is a visual, instructional guide designed to walk readers through 30 -35 yoga poses that are effective in stretching the muscles that paddlers use most, and strengthening the muscles that they use least. The book includes chapters on anatomy and alignment principles specific to the movements of paddling for kayakers, canoeists, and SUPers, and includes tips on proper paddling technique, performance focus, relaxation, and short stories about paddling injuries healed via yoga. One to three photos demonstrate each pose, with clear, concise text on how to get into and hold the poses.

Anna did a great job of describing yoga principles such as poses, everyday body alignment, and breath-work in an easily understandable manner. I recommend this book for anyone interested in yoga, not just paddlers.

The descriptions and pictures of the yoga principles and poses she discusses are great. She doesn’t post any pretzel-like, party trick poses. Anyone can relate to the poses with her pictures demonstrating proper alignment.
