Alice Christensen, founder, of the American Yoga Association, guides you through the program, showing you:
-The basics of yoga exercising, breathing, and meditation with specific, easy-to-follow illustrations throughout
-Specific postures such as the Gentle Full Bend, the Easy Sun Pose, and the Elbow Twist to help you target your weaker spots and increase your overall flexibility
-The unique benefits of Yoga for alleviating chronic health conditions ranging from arthritis to depression
-A six-week program to get you started and to help you develop a basic understanding of essential movements
-Specially designed sequences to boost energy or bring calm, depending on your specific needs
-Strategies to incorporate the yoga lifestyle into your daily routine, not only with exercise, but also with tips on creating a healthy diet and ways to develop a more peaceful, positive mental attitude
Regardless of your age or physical condition, The American Yoga Association's Easy Does It® Yoga will inspire you to awaken your body and mind and experience the well-being and fulfillment that yoga brings.
