Ashtanga Yoga: The Definitive Step-by Step Guide to Dynamic Yoga Return to Index of Books. by John Scott Ashtanga Yoga: The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide to Dynamic Yoga offers clear, detailed instruction in the Ashtanga style of yoga. Ashtanga Yoga is a rigorous style featuring a strong aerobic component and a flowing sequence of poses. It is well-loved by people who want to combine the spiritual benefits of yoga with the rewards of a more vigorous athletic exercise program. John Scott has established Ashtanga Yoga Schools in his native New Zealand and in London. In this book, he teaches the Ashtanga breath-movement system that produces a heat which releases toxins residing in the deep muscle layers of the body. This process alleviates fatigue, stress, depression, muscle atrophy, and illness. Ashtanga Yoga: The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide to Dynamic Yoga teaches three Ashtanga Yoga sequences, including forward bends, back bends, standing poses, arm balances, hip stretches, twists and bandhas. Includes beautiful color photographs. Paper bound, 144 pages. Click here for Ashtanga Yoga Videos, DVDs, CDs and Audio Cassettes. Return to Index of Books.
