Description
From the Back Cover
Welcome to the world of yoga. Yoga Journal‘s Yoga Basics offers the first truly comprehensive introduction to the practice of this popular ancient healing art. Produced by a teacher of yoga for over 25 years and the editors of Yoga Journal, it offers all the inspiration and instruction you’ll need to develop your own at-home yoga practice. Beginning with an exploration of the roots of yoga, the book goes on to describe a variety of hatha yoga styles — Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and others– so you can choose the method that’s appropriate for you. Featuring easy-to-follow instructions and 140 black-and-white photographs to illustrate the postures, Yoga Basics provides a thorough understanding not only of the mechanics of technique but of all the important elements that make yoga so much more than a fitness regime. In this unique book you’ll find:
• Tips on the use of the breath in yoga practice and breath awareness exercises
• Guidelines for regular practice, including health and safety considerations
• Dozens of illustrated postures– standing, seated, supine, and prone– with their benefits described
• Sample Yoga routines that can be done in as little as 15 minutes per day
• Instruction on the practice and power of meditation

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in (or sandwich in box cardboard), and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
