Everybody feels "blue" from time to time, but when depression persists for a long time, it can suppress your energy for living. Yoga asks you to be in the moment and to let go of the "chatter" in your brain. Once that chatter is released, you should be able to feel your emotions more clearly and think through what your really need and want. Yoga can be a mind/body solution to some of our problems, and the exercise, coupled with correct breath patterns, centres your thoughts and can help to lift your mood. Yoga's regulating and energizing properties can help alleviate many of the symptoms of mild depression. Its exercises can help to improve circulation, sending invigorating oxygen to the brain and muscles, and stretching and strengthening movements flush toxins from the body.

The disciplines of yoga and pilates are complementary: they both use carefully controlled breathing to initiate movement, and both require mental focus on the present moment in order to maximise the efficacy of the movements. In a series of fully-illustrated exercise plans, the reader is guided from easy routines to more advanced movements that improve suppleness, flexibility and can aid minor health problems. With the focus on balance, coordination and control, the Pilates routines complement some of the more challenging poses of yoga, while the mental focus inherent in yoga will improve the concentration needed in pilates.

Jonathan Urla
Yogilates combines two of the hottest exercise techniques - Hatha yoga and Pilates - in a single body development technique that provides strength, grace, focus and flexibility - faster than when either discipline is performed separately. The technique was created by Jonathan Urla in 1997 and is now taught all over the world. The unifying essence of Yoga and the powerful therapeutic value of Pilates combine to produce an all-round, totally balanced, low-impact work out. As historically practiced, both yoga and pilates both contain difficult, complicated and risky exercises that detract from the technique's accessibility. Yogilates balances the spinal arching of yoga with the core strengthening moves of Pilates and pools the benefits of both disciplines into a totally safe, effective synergy. This interactive book clearly outlines the skills necessary to learn Yogilates techniques safely and how to incorporate them into a healthy lifestyle. The routines are user-friendly and the book contains several levels , with tips on when to progress on to the next one. There are also sections on improving strength in key areas such as the neck, knees and back. REMAINDER MARK.
