Book Description
Discover how you can utilize hatha yoga to enhance all aspects of your physical and spiritual health Drawing from years of experience studying hatha yoga, author Shandor Remete delves deep into original Sanskrit texts to explain the theoretical foundation of yoga in clear, encouraging language. He describes ways to move beyond the “shadows”—or blocks—that students often face in their practice and covers essential yogic concepts such as: • The foundations of traditional yoga: the marmas, chakras, vayus (sources of energy), and nadis (flows of energy through the body) • Yogic techniques to improve condition and function: asana (poses), nauli (abdominal exercises), pranayama (breathing), mudra (gestures), laya (absorptions) • The most important asanas, with illustrations of key sequences Shadow Yoga, Chaya Yoga also discusses various little-understood, oft-neglected aspects of yogic training, such as the role of marma points (acupuncture-like energy points) and the influence of the zodiac. Detailed drawings of the body’s energy system and its links to these elemental and planetary forces provide a visual guide to these largely unknown areas of yoga. This knowledge—considered essential in Indian yogic traditions—has been almost entirely lost in modern Western schools of yoga, but Shandor Remete restores that information in this beautifully designed book.

Book Description
Watch Me Do Yoga is narrated by a child's voice as she goes through a series of yoga poses. We see her practicing with her dad, her mom, or the family dog—and sometimes alone on her mat. We see her in the garden, on the patio, in her bedroom, even sitting on a gigantic lotus. But no matter what the setting, she relates her yoga to the natural world. She stands like a tree or a mountain and imitates the actions of animals—a fish, a dog, a lion, and a tortoise. She celebrates her connection with the life around her and wants just a bit of attention in return. The upbeat text and appealing illustrations should encourage young children to practice yoga and their parents to practice with them.
