Product Description

An inspiring guide to bringing the benefits of yoga into your life by Katy Appleton, Geri Halliwell's yoga teacher. Yoga can tone the body, energise or relax you, balance your emotions and promote good health. In YOGA IN PRACTICE Katy takes you through 60 core postures, explaining the physical and emotional benefits each one brings. She shows clearly how to get into and out of each posture safely, and gives easier and more advanced versions where appropriate. Following the full sequence will give you good overall mental and physical strength but for those who don't have time for a full session or who want to target specific problems Katy has created ten short programmes. Each is designed to last twenty minutes and includes: Building Strength, Morning Energiser, Detox, Boosting Your Immune System, Bliss. There are sections on breathing, relaxation and meditation (including visualization) as well as a chapter on following a yoga diet. Fully illustrated in colour, with clear and accessible text, this book shows you how to gain the most from your yoga practice, tailoring it to suit your own special needs.

Customer Reviews

Highly recommended5
I have been practising yoga for several years and have found this book to be one of the best resources for my practice at home.
It gives detailed information (benefits, contraindications, beginners variations) about many of the most common yoga poses. It is thorough, accessible and well illustrated with photos of all the variations. My only criticism is that although it gives good information about devising your own sequence I think it would benefit from some suggested sequences/practices. All in all, I highly recommend this book and although I own around 30 yoga books this is the one I turn to most.

A great addition to your yoga library5
A really good introduction and reference work for Hatha yoga. KatyAppleton has certainly worked with the in crowd, but this book is notpretentious. It is practical, informative, covers a good range of abilityand experience, and gives detailed descriptions of the asanas and theirvariations. I particularly like the detail and progressive illustrationsaround more difficult poses such as the headstand. All in all anexcellent book, highly recommended.
