For years, books on yoga have asked readers to bend over backwards (literally!) to conform to their physical demands. At DK, we believe it's time to change that! Why not allow for readers to demand that yoga conform to their individual needs instead? This is yoga for real people!
Once you familiarise yourself with the yoga exercises that best suit you and your abilities, you'll begin to notice the benefits of yoga and positive changes they have on your body, whether it's your enhanced flexibility, your improved posture or your stronger core. What a rewarding experience for readers!
Yoga for Everyone aims to teach readers that with a little modification, anyone can practise Yoga, perfect their poses and become stronger and more confident as you go. Whether you want to structure your sun salutation or demand more from your downward dog, this all-encompassing yoga book will be your one-stop guide to achieving perfection with each pose no matter your physical ability, and learn some top tips on yoga anatomy along the way.
A must-have volume for those who want to take up Yoga but don't know where to begin, or simply those seeking to start a low-impact exercise, Yoga for Everyone can be tailored to your individual fitness needs, so you make the most out of your poses! Why not stretch yourself, literally, this New Year and try something new? Perhaps your mind, body and soul will thank you!
