Yoga with props / Sara Lyn Chana

This basic work is intended to reach yoga practitioners at all levels: it provides newcomers with valuable basic knowledge about all important yoga postures, and the use of aids offers experienced yogis the opportunity to improve their practice in detail. Yoga teachers are given the tools to design their classes in an innovative way and to meet participants where they are in their practice. Even physically challenged people who have difficulty with balance or mobility are encouraged to attempt challenging asanas with the support of props.The functional use of aids in this book brings a better understanding of the yoga postures, their effects and their precise execution. With yoga blocks and belts, muscle groups can be specifically targeted, strengthened and stretched. In the Yin and Restorative Yoga exercises in the second part of the book, blankets and bolsters provide support to relax muscles, joints, fascia and the nervous system.
