A fascinating explanation of the significant, often symbolic role that numbers play in yoga philosophy--by beloved yoga teacher and writer Richard Rosen. Numbers play a meaningful role in the philosophy of many spiritual traditions--and yoga is no exception. For example, the number one is the quintessential yoga number, representing "unity" and "wholeness"; number two sometimes stands for co-operative effort, and other times for conflict; and number four is the number of completeness or stability, as it "stands" on "four legs." There are twelve different names for the mantra OM, each one revealing a different aspect of this root sound. With his distinctive blend of knowledge and humor, Richard Rosen unpacks the fascinating significance that numbers hold in the philosophy and practice of yoga. Stories and practices woven throughout--like the Eka Danta simple meditation exercise, which concentrates on one pointedness and is associated with the one tusk of Ganesh--offer readers a hands-on way to explore the importance of numbers in their own practice. Yoga by the Numbers will enlighten and entertain the yogi in your life.

"A profoundly authentic yoga experience." - John Stirk, author of The Original Body and Deeper StillFrom Anna Ashby, one of the first yoga teachers in the UK to offer this style, comes a complete overview of restorative yoga for teachers, trainees and experienced students. Arranged into three sections, the book is designed to help readers understand the history, purpose and characteristics of the practice; its feel and expression with an emphasis on breath, process and introspection; and how to structure a successful practice. Each section ends with self-enquiry and breath exploration so teachers can practically apply the knowledge shared in each chapter and build a framework for a successful teaching practice. Helping the reader to understand their own patterns of behaviour and cultural imprints, which may interfere with the ability to downshift the nervous system and ultimately relax, Restorative Yoga supplies all the necessary preparations to successfully teach this style of yoga.

He is an engaging, experienced guide who reveals the development of modern yoga through the centuries and shows how the ancient yogis did it.

Jewish life, at least for those who follow ancient traditions, has a rule book. In fact it has many rule books. They are the Torah, the Talmud, and numerous writings by the rabbis over the millennia. In those books are laws governing virtually every circumstance that an individual may face, as well as situations that are imagined by the rabbis but were, in all likelihood, never faced by anyone and unlikely ever to occur. "Mercy Killing and Other Tall Meisehs" contains stories about real and imagined situations, and how they might play out if they actually happened. But don't wait for them to occur. Some of them are too fanciful to ever happen. At least I don't think so.

As baby boomers pass age 50, problems with knees, ankles, and backs are leading them into lower-impact forms of fitness. The stress of career and later-in-life children also have them seeking new ways to relax. Combine these pressures and it is no surprise that yoga is increasing in popularity among the 50-plus crowd. Tailored specifically for this burgeoning population, 50+ Yoga offers a straightforward approach that makes it easy to learn yoga at any age. The book's adaptable program allows readers in good shape to experience a challenging workout, while people with physical limitations benefit from gentler postures, breathing exercises, and meditation practices. Throughout the book, the author focuses on the needs of older beginning students, providing tips for moving comfortably into a pose, avoiding injury, and using helpful props, such as chairs, foam blocks, and cotton straps. The author details the basic principles of yoga and teaches the common elements of all postures and movements: alignment, breath, and awareness. However, the vast majority of the book is devoted to teaching the yoga poses through the use of step-by-step photos, clearly written instructions, and helpful hints from the author.
