As a physical and spiritual art yoga can have many holistic benefits and regardless of age, may become a transformational tool for making one's life better. Yoga Asana: Developing a Healthy Physical Practice is an attempt to outline the practical aspects of a healthy physical practice, while honoring the principle that a flexible spine may lead to the living of a healthier life. Elements of rhythmical breathing and thoughtful alignment as well as sequencing patterns and recommended modifications in the physical practice are explored, with the concept of developing awareness of how we move and live in our bodies. Photos and images are plentiful, along with detailed descriptions of basic yoga asanas and sequences.
