Edition DescriptionAnniversary
SynopsisThe 10th Anniversary Edition of Yin Yoga: Outline of a Quiet Practice by Paul Grilley brings together in a fresh way the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Taoism with Hindu yoga practices. With over 150,000 copies sold, Grilley's book has been enhanced with new materials describing the evolution of Yin Yoga within the Yoga world over the last decade plus new reference materials on anatomy and the practice of Yin Yoga. Yoga as practiced in the US is almost exclusively Yang or muscular in nature. The Yin aspect of Yoga (using postures that stretch connective tissue) is virtually unknown but vital for a balanced approach to physical and mental health. Paul Grilley outlines how to practice postures in a Yin way. Grilley includes an explanation of Modern Meridian Theory, which states that the meridians of acupuncture theory are currents flowing through the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga is specifically designed to address these tissues. The two major differences between a Yin and a Yang Yoga practice are that Yin postures should be done with the muscles relaxed and should be held a long time. This is because connective tissue does not stretch like muscle and will not respond well to brief stresses. In addition, Yin Yoga better prepares people for meditation. For yoga practitioners looking for something beyond physical postures. Yin Yoga addresses the deeper spiritual dimensions of yoga, with helpful sections on chakras, breathing exercises, and meditation., The 10th Anniversary Edition of Yin Yoga: Outline of a Quiet Practice by Paul Grilley brings together in a fresh way the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Taoism with Hindu yoga practices.

The most succinct book I have read since "The Elements Of Style"
I am a Yoga instructor... If you have been trained in Yin or Restorative yoga; this is the most succinct on-target reference book to carry in your gym bag... It is also known as "the little green book " Though I was formally trained in restorative yoga; this book moved my knowledge level way beyond my expectations... Okay, of you are a lay person, I do believe you should go to a yoga studio and take some Yin or Restorative yoga classes first; this is not a book I would recommend for a layperson... HOWEVER, if you take a Few Restorative or Yin classes, you should buy this book; keep going to classes...and then show up early or late for your next class and discuss some of the information you are curious about...and believe you will find that your instructor would be more than happy to help guide you through the lessons in this book... That leaves the yoga instructors... Guys/Gals... This will probably be your best under $20.00 investment on your teaching tools... It's all in this book from description of Yin, to "excellent" images and descriptions of how to get into each pose... Oh, one more thing... Make sure the "author" is Paul; there is a similar (respectable ) yoga book out there by another respectable author, I M reviewing Pauls bookBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
