Review
The London Sivananda Yoga Centre's Yoga: Mind & Body is a comprehensive yet user-friendly guide for anyone interested in starting or expanding a yoga practice. All the essentials are covered, from the Sun Salutation and 12 basic asanas (the system of poses that make up hatha yoga) to relaxation, positive thinking, breathing, purification and meditation techniques. The book contains more than 500 beautiful illustrations demonstrating both basic and advanced poses. The detailed instructions will enable anyone, regardless of age, sex or physical ability, to start practising yoga at home. The physical, mental and pranic (energy) benefits of each pose are included, as well as a discussion of common alignment problems associated with each asana. The authors also give readers a taste of yoga philosophy and the yoga lifestyle, including a section on vegetarianism complete with dozens of recipes to refuel after completing those shoulder stands, forward bends and spinal twists. --Ellen Albertson
About the Author
The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre is a non-profit organisation founded by renowned authority on Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga, Swami Vishnu-devananda in 1957. By closely observing the lifestyles and needs of people in the West, Swami synthesised the ancient wisdom of yoga into five basic principles that could easily be incorporated into one's own lifestyle to provide the foundation for healthy living. It is around these five principles that the activities at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres are based. They include: Exercise, Breathing, Relaxation, Diet and Positive Thinking and Meditation.
