One of the great teachers has created this extraordinary celebration of yoga, featuring poses in iconic and exotic destinations around the world. Will there ever be a more beautiful and immersive book on yoga? Hundreds of superbly photographed asanas, mudras, affirmations, yantras, mandalas, reflections, intentions, sequences, and techniques—many of which have been specially created for this book—are combined with poses captured in locations worldwide, from remote beaches to urban sanctuaries. The sections are organized based on the benefits of yoga: energy enhancement, toning and flexibility, stress relief and mindfulness, metabolism boosting, rest and rejuvenation, and inner alignment. Each chapter includes selections of poses, including some new poses created specifically for this book, encouraging muscle mobility and supporting the activation of 600 muscles through mind-body communication. Lourdes shares functional, purposeful, and liberating ways to transition in and out of poses, helping with structural integrity. For dedicated yogis and teachers, this is a window to encourage the deep process of work. For those newer to yoga, it is an artistically designed guide to the unique world that exists when yoga practice merges with the universal pulse of heightened physical awareness and philosophical thought. For all practitioners, it is an exceptionally inspiring showcase of the countless places where one can create mindfulness and well-being, no matter where you are in the world.
