Earn The American Yoga Associations Easy Does It Yoga: The Safe And Gentle Way To Health And Well Being Prepared By Alice Christensen Offered In Physical Book

book is geared toward yoga techniques for people with limited mobility, The book is aimed at older adults, but this seems like a good yoga starting point for anyone,

The exercises are described in detail and supplemented with photos,orinstructions didn't seem to quite line up with the photos, but the rest were clear, Christensen also describes the physiological and sometimes mental/emotional benefits for each exercise which I found informative,

Chapters on nutrition, meditation, and yoga philosophy are also included,

Aweek program is presented but you have to flip back and forth to the exercise descriptions listed on various pages, I've tried weeksandand the flipping around is not a big deal, They do take longer thanminutes though,

I spentminutes doing the weekroutine today, but it was my first time doing it and that includesminutes of meditation which isn't included in theminute estimates.
Granted I was rereading the details of each exercise and taking it slowly as the book suggests, Once you're familiar with the exercises, it should take a lot less time,

What's nifty is that a lot of the exercises presented are suitable for doing while watching tv or doing other things, That's not quite the focused approach of yoga, but many are prime for incorporating into stray moments throughout the day,

Well worth a look, Don't be dissuaded from trying it because the models in the photos are mostly over, Regain your health, vitality, and independence through this ageold approach to fitness!
