Yoga For Transformation

Ancient Teachings and Practices for
Healing the Body, Mind and Heart
by Gary Kraftsow

While there is no denying yoga's popularity as a form of physical exercise, the other life-enhancing aspects of this tradition remain obscure to many Westerners. In Yoga for Transformation, Gary Kraftsow introduces techniques that effect not only the physical body but also the emotions, mind, heart, and soul of the practitioner, the places where real transformation can take place. There are breathing techniques to control energy levels, exercises to train and sharpen the intellect, and meditative practices to help increase self-awareness.
      Some of the highlights of this book include an extensive series of postures that are performed actively. Long holds are dispensed with and getting into and out of the postures is synchronized with the breath with a gentle energizing effect. Another important focus is pranayama or breathwork. Many types of breathing and counts are explored with deatails about when to practice them. Much time is given in the book to aspects of focusing one's practice for personal growth. Included here is a complete chakra based practice and guidance on creating personal ritual for bringing your greatest wishes to fruition.
      This text is a complete yoga resource, that integrates ancient practices with modern sensibilities and is sure to enliven and inform the life of anyone who uses it. There are more than 350 black and white photographs throughout this unique and accessible book which make it easy to follow Gary's clear, to the point, instructions. For anyone wanting to strengthen the whole self, body, mind, and spirit, through yoga, this is a worthwhile resource.
