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.

Sharon Franquemont
'Sharon Franquemont-a former professor at John F. Kennedy University and an intuition coach and consultant in the fields of business, education, and psychotherapy - has been teaching people how to access their spontaneous inner wisdom for nearly 30 years. She is one of the intuition movement's pioneers and elders, and her book rings with the depth and resonance that only long and intensive experience with the subject can provide. "Twenty-eight years of working with intuition have taught me that intuition thrives best as a way of life rather than just a tool one picks up and puts down," writes Franquemont. "Intuition's value extends far beyond simple problem-solving or decision-making, or creative breakthroughs. Intuition serves our deepest purpose and places us in harmony with what the universe and our soul intend." Neophytes could hardly hope to find a more knowledgeable and articulate guide to intuition than Franquemont. And readers already steeped in the literature will find a banquet of new insights and techniques in this truly inviting book. Remainder mark, shop soiled.

Deborah Tannen
Why do so many women feel that men don't tell them anything, but just lecture and criticise? Why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? In this pioneering book Deborah Tannen shows us how women and men talk in different ways, for profoundly different reasons. While women use language to make connections and reinforce intimacy, men use it to preserve their status and independence. The result is that conversation becomes a cross-cultural communication, fraught with genuine confusion. Using examples and anecdotes, this book offers an approach to banishing the misunderstandings that confuse our relationships. REMAINDER MARK.
