Instruction
Cool Yoga Tricks
by Miriam Austin
Cool Yoga Tricks by Miriam Austin, is
exactly what the name implies. It is full of great ways to work on postures that
may be difficult for you and improve postures you may already like. When I was
looking for couples yoga poses for a special private class for a couple on their
wedding anniversary I found a number of fun, interesting ways for couples to
aid each other in working on their poses. I also discovered that Miriam Austin's
detailed Iyengar style instructions on doing the poses are very helpful in finding
ways to improve form and get more out of the postures I regularly practice and
teach. Plus this book is chock full of modifications of poses for people who
are not yet ready to master the full poses but want to experience them and reap
the benefits.
Areas of special focus in the book include, downward
dog, back bends, standing postures, inversions, twists, seated postures, sun
salutations, plus a special section on things to do to improve conditions like
head, stomach and back aches, sciatica and more. For anyone who is looking
for a way to enliven and expand their practice and to find special ways to accomodate
particular deficiencies this book is a super resource.
Miriam Austin has been involved with yoga for over 20
years and is a dedicated student of BKS Iyengar. She is the author of numerous
books on yoga and meditation. |
