Yoga Without Injuries

You’ve probably heard that yoga is good for the health of your body and harmony of the mind—but you still haven’t dared to go to your first class? Are you afraid yoga is only for flexible people, and that you can twist yourself into a “bagel” so badly you won’t be able to untwist later? This book will take you from the level of “beginner” to the level of “confident user.” Basic knowledge of anatomy will make it possible not to memorize how poses are set up, but to understand what category each pose belongs to. You’ll learn how to practice yoga techniques as effectively and safely as possible—confidently and with pleasure—while developing your practice.
