Take time to decompress.
Relieve stress. Reduce anxiety. Face the challenges and joys of life
with steadiness and grace. That is what A Journey Into Yin Yoga will help you do.
Join world-renowned yoga instructor Travis Eliot as he guides you
through this contemporary and effective approach for strengthening your
mind, body, and spirit. You will learn about the origins and practice of
yin yoga, a passive approach in which poses are held for a few minutes
to target the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
You will slowly and mindfully transition between poses as you gently
allow those tissues to stretch, facilitating better circulation and
joint health and improving flexibility. Throughout, you will learn the
benefits, contraindications, alignment points, and modifications so you
can adjust the poses to your needs and body type.
Eliot also
explains eight breathing techniques and eight meditation practices for
improved focus, reduced stress, and enhanced clarity. Ten ready-to-use
sequences allow you to target specific goals, including better sleep,
spine flexibility, and healthy hips, knees, and shoulders.
A Journey Into Yin Yoga
presents over 50 yin yoga poses with stunning photos and detailed
instruction, along with inspiring quotes, stories, and interviews from
celebrities, doctors, and athletes. You will be inspired to discover
your unique path to improved mental and physical strength and balance.
CE exam available! For certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam can be completed after reading this book. A Journey Into Yin Yoga Online CE Exam may be purchased separately or as part of the A Journey Into Yin Yoga With CE Exam package, which includes both the book and the exam.
