Yoga
Yoga is a huge part of the fitness boom in South Africa, as many people favour the gentle physical and spiritual approach over more strenuous exercises. This book is an introduction to the ancient art and discipline of yoga, providing the basics to those just starting out. The book follows the principles of Hatha Yoga and stresses the importance of incorporating a Raja Yoga component into the practice of Hatha Yoga by means of meditation. Breathing and relaxation are also emphasized and the text explains why these two elements are vital parts of yoga practice.
Readers can find out about the advantages of practicing at home, as a complement to joining a yoga class and having a yoga teacher. The postures are grouped into the categories of general preparatory exercises, sitting, standing, balancing, inverted and rest postures. Full-colour photography appears together with the text so that instructions and pictures of the posture breakdown are easy to follow.
