Unlike any other yoga program, <em >Power Yoga</em> is a choreographed sequence of postures that flow into one another, building strength, unwinding tight joints, and loosening muscles. Beautiful photographs and clear instructions guide you through this effective and popular routine. Based on the classical and original yoga system called Ashtanga, <em >Power Yoga</em> is a complete mind and body workout that develops concentration and reduces stress. With its focus on mindful breathing and body heat, <em >Power Yoga</em> goes beyond the relaxation benefits of traditional yoga to offer a route to health and fitness that athletes of all levels will embrace. In fact, this is the official yoga program of the New York Road Runners Club.</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-27"><div class="form-item"> <label>Depth:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-34"><div class="form-item"> <label>Openness:</label><br /> 3 </div> </div></div><p class="awTags_TagLinks">Tags: <a href="tags/46">yoga</a> </p> yoga Beryl Bender Birch Books Core Bookshelf Spiritual Wellness Fri, 24 Feb 2006 13:36:17 -0500
