All yoga forms emphasize either muscle (Yang) or connective tissue (Yin). Today, all popular Yoga forms are Yang - muscular. Balancing the two has many benefits in any Yoga practice, including better preparation for meditation. Yin Yoga focuses upon connective tissue, which does not stretch or respond to brief stresses as muscle will, so Yin postures are held a long time, with the muscles relaxed. Acupuncture meridians are also in connective tissues and Yin Yoga is specifically designed to stimulate them. Divided into two sections, the second part of the book deals with chakras, breathing exercises and meditation.

We all know that yoga is great for stress relief, flexibility and weight control, but do we really know how and why it works? In gym classes and living rooms around the world students are familiar with the techniques of yoga practice, but often lack understanding of the 'why', 'how' and 'in what order'. As a result, bad habits and injuries can ensue. In yoga, as in any subject, the foundation is crucial and Yoga Explained addresses both the physical and theoretical aspects of this ancient art from its very beginnings. Using modern teaching skills, based on the popular lyengar method, over 100 foundation postures are introduced gradually over a series of 12 units, each with step-by-step instruction and guidance on how you can progress. This is coupled with simple, accessible insights into the philosophy that supports the practice. Yoga Explained offers a truly unique approach to learning and practising yoga. By the end of the book you will have a clear grasp of the foundation postures and relaxation techniques, plus a strong - essential - understanding of the overall purpose of yoga and its key doctrines.

To keep their faces looking younger, women today try everything from invasive procedures such as plastic surgery and Botox to expensive cosmeceuticals. The Yoga Face is a new, natural alternative anti-aging regimen that women can do anytime and anywhere in just minutes. The exercises, developed by yoga expert Annelise Hagen, are based on a simple principle: The muscles of the face are no different from the muscles of the rest of the body. If you don't exercise the muscles below the neck, they become weak and flabby, and the same thing will happen to your face with age. Just as yoga routines work the muscles in the body, the stretches and movements in The Yoga Face tighten and tone the face muscles and combat wrinkles. Using fun facial exercises such as the Louis Armstrong "Satchmo," the Marilyn Monroe "kiss," and the "Lion Face," readers will notice changes quickly; and over time, the results are dramatic. Illustrated with 75 instructive photos, The Yoga Face offers an easy, safe, and effective solution to help women turn back the clock and have beautiful, young-looking skin.
