As we advance in our yoga asana practice, sometimes physical issues show up - issues such as a tight shoulder, a sore back, or pain in the sacroliliac joints. This book was written to help you overcome these issues. Instead of developing pain, soreness, and an overall feeling of tightness, you'll feel lighter, stronger, taller, and much more at ease. Advancing Your Yoga Practice: The Art of Slowing Down consists of seven full-class sequences that will open and stabilize your shoulders, hips and spine so that you can smoothly and easily move into your classic asanas such as Downward Facing Dog, Triange, Revolved Triangle, Standing Forward Bend, Warrior 1, Warrior 2, and Camel. Anatomy is explored throughout so that you can blend your intellectual knowledge with your yoga practice.
