Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Filled with beautifully clear illustrations of asanas (stretching poses) and pranayamas (breathing exercises), Yoga for Stress Relief should prove effective enough to dissolve the tension out of your body, no matter how frazzled you may feel. Perfect for yoga novices, this book is designed to be part of a gradual, three-month program for dissolving the stress you have now and for helping you build up both psychological and physiological defenses against future stress.
Based on the yoga developed by Swami Sivananda, which combines two of the gentlest types of yoga (Hatha and Raja), the book begins with a clear, non-technical explanation of exactly how detrimental stress is for the body, especially to the respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Then the exercises are described using both their Sanskrit and English names. From basic but soothing back and neck stretches to those that involve the hips, lower back, legs, and eventually the more complex shoulder stands, Cobra Pose (excellent for relieving menstrual cramps), and spinal twists, you can count on all the kinks being worked out of your body.
A handy chart in the back of the book indicates which of the dozens of poses are especially effective for alleviating particular stress-related ailments such as headaches, insomnia, depression, and panic attacks. While the focus is primarily on the physical aspect of yoga, its spiritual element is also taught through simple, soothing meditative visualizations. Yoga for Stress Relief is also perfect for anyone who's sleep deprived, as an hour of asanas and pranayamas is as rejuvenating for the body as a two-hour nap.

Best of Breed. This book is the best one I have read on Yoga. If it included the headstand in a manner similar to Salutation to the Sun, the book would be perfect. (The headstand is not included). This book is also published in Spanish; titled Yoga para el Estres isbn 84-88242-75-1. Yoga para el Estres is exactly the same (text and illustrations) as Yoga for Stress Relief. Considering the large spanish speaking marketplace, I recommend that amazon look into acquiring this publication from the spanish publisher (Gaia Ediciones)for availability on amazon.com

I liked this book very much.I have just started practising yoga and this book was easy to understand and use.What I liked very much about this book was that it explained where stress comes from and why and how to prevent it beside using the exercises.
Format:Taschenbuch
I appreciate the easy to follow instructions and illustrations and that the poses are organized into routines instead of this being a simple "pictionary" of poses. The routines vary in difficulty and you can build up to them. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because I wish it had a little more, but for basics or beginners it was great.
