COOL YOGA TRICKS(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Craving yoga’s benefits but unable to perform even the
simplest postures? Think yoga is only for rubber-limbed
supermodels?
If your yoga practice is giving you more stress than stress relief,
Cool Yoga Tricks is the answer to your prayers.
　　Although it seems like everyone from Madonna to your
eighty-three-year-old Uncle Teddy is practicing yoga, most of us
are unable to do even the simplest 　　classic yoga poses without
undue stress and strain. Now in this clear, understandable,
easy-to-follow book, Miriam Austin offers alternative yoga routines
that help you reap the greatest rewards from your yoga practice,
and she reveals shortcuts to help you perform yoga like a
pro.
　　Using everyday items, such as chairs, walls, and blankets, Miriam
Austin shows how those of us with normal flexibility limitations
can experience the very real benefits of yoga—without dislocating
our joints, overstretching our muscles, or giving up in
frustration. She makes the basics simple, doable, and
down-to-earth.
　　Dog Tricks—lengthen your spine more fully with these Downward
Facing Dog tricks, designed to relax your neck, shoulders, and
back—and make your Dog Pose much more lovable.
　　Befriending Backbends—increase your preztebility with a little
help from your friends—and from some garden-variety folding
chairs.
　　Tweaking Your Twists—learn the techniques that will stretch your
spine and give you more life energy.
　　Super Stretches—feel as limber as your average bowling ball?
Gently coax your muscles to new lengths by practicing the routines
in this chapter
