  abstract: Yoga Journal's Yoga Basics offers an introduction to the practice of this popular ancient healing art. It offers all the inspiration and instruction you'll need to develop your own at-home yoga practice. Beginning with an exploration of the roots of yoga, the book goes on to describe a variety of hatha yoga styles - lyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and others - so you can choose the method that's appropriate for you. Featuring easy-to-follow instructions and 140 black-and-white photographs to illustrate the postures, Yoga Basics provides a thorough understanding not only of the mechanics of technique but of all the important elements that make yoga so much more than a fitness regime. In this unique book you'll find tips on the use of the breath in yoga practice and breath awareness exercises; guidelines for regular practice, including health and safety considerations; dozens of illustrated postures - standing, seated, supine, and prone - with their benefits described; sample yoga routines that can be done in as little as 15 minutes per day; and instruction on the practice and power of meditation.--[book jacket]
