Heal your body, mind, and spirit with these quick and easy yoga and meditation practices.
Do you have a pain in your neck that won’t go away? Are you often impatient or overwhelmed? Would you like a greater sense of love, balance, or appreciation in your life? In Yoga for Everyday Life, Christine Burke gives you the power to heal and revitalize yourself—mind, body, and spirit! Practitioners of all levels, from beginner to advanced, occasional to frequent, will love this accessible handbook of remedies based on the art and science of yoga. The first three chapters—Remedies for the Body, Remedies for the Mind, and Remedies for the Spirit—cover a number of physical, mental, and emotional concerns and provide three simple, concise practices for each to address the condition. The final chapter includes longer combined sequences for the morning, noon, and night to wake up, recharge, and relax. From alleviating daily aches and pains to improving your state of mind and tapping into your creative spirit, you will find succinct, powerful tools that can be practiced anywhere, any time.
Yoga is OLD—very old, roughly 6,000 years old—yet it is gaining popularity faster than you can say Namaste. This is because the themes and the practice of yoga are universal and timeless. Despite all the changes that have taken place over the centuries, whether magnificent or frightening, humanity has remained fundamentally the same. We long for connection and love, health and prosperity, peace and joy.
Yoga has a long list of benefits both physical and psychological. A yoga practice can improve posture, strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, lower blood pressure, decrease the likelihood of injury, improve lung capacity, relieve anxiety, lower stress levels, increase energy levels, and enhance mental clarity. The list goes on! Although the physical poses of yoga have gained the most attention in the West, they are but a rung on the ladder that leads to the ultimate and original goal of yoga, which is moksha or liberation. The definition of liberation is subject to many interpretations. For the purposes of this book, please consider what liberation means to you at this moment, and how it would positively affect your life to feel liberated.
