Pick Your Yoga Practice


Pick Your Yoga Practice is a must have for any beginner to yoga. There are dozens of yoga styles to choose from, and while yoga is for everyone, not every style is the perfect fit for every person. But how do you choose between mysterious-sounding names such as Ashtanga, Kundalini, Bikram, and Kripalu? Pick Your Yoga Practice is the first book to describe the most prominent yoga styles in depth, including teaching methodology, elements of practice, philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, class structure, physical exertion, and personal attention. Those new to yoga will discover they have options and can confidently attend a class of their choosing, while experienced practitioners will expand their understanding of the vast world of modern yoga, and perhaps find themselves venturing into new territory.



Yoga For Regular Guys: The Best Damn Workout on the Planet


This illustrated fitness program delivers everything a guy could want: improved strength and endurance, a better sex life, reduced stress levels, and (most importantly) access to ridiculously hot yoga-babes. Every chapter offers comprehensive, step-by-step explanations of yoga poses and circuits—along with clear (and sometimes amusing) color photos of “regular guys” in action. It’s yoga the way guys really do it—with lots of sweat and muscle-building power. This workout uses power yoga as the base, fusing old-school calisthenics, core stability training, and isometric slow-motion strength training to engage your muscles in every position.

Yoga on the Ball: Enhance Your Yoga Practice Using the Exercise Ball


Written by Certified Medical Exercise Specialist Carol Mitchell, Yoga on the Ball combines the science of yoga with the technology of the exercise ball to create a workout that can be tailored to all fitness levels. Moving through yoga postures while using the exercise ball is meditation in motion. It allows you to engage several muscle groups simultaneously to create a total body workout and to lose weight naturally as your metabolism increases with special breathing techniques. The exercise ball provides a soft and cushioning base for the strong stretches and graceful movements of the yoga exercises, and with only a slight roll of the ball, the deep stretches can be altered to target different areas of the muscles.
