![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() This small book is recommended for its descriptions of poses for deep muscle stretching and the accompanying photographs. I also found the suggested sequences for various types of physical conditions very useful. I'm less sanguine about Grilley's New Agey mishmash of Indian and Daoist philosophies and all the attendant talk of energy bodies and the like. I found it more hokey filler and recommend that readers interested in kundalini, acupuncture, or the like consult books dedicated to those specific topics over the Western rewrite Grilley gives them here. That said, this book is still worth checking out for anyone interested in incorporating deep, sustained stretching into their practice. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The 10th Anniversary Edition ofYin 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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
