Physiology of Yoga. The Impact of Asanas on the Health of Various Systems of the Body

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF YOGA WILL BE USEFUL NOT ONLY FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO PRACTICE IT, BUT ALSO FOR YOGA TEACHERS. It clearly describes how important systems of our body respond to yoga practice and adapt to it. At the... end of the book, four sequences of asanas are presented: - complex dynamic practice; - slow hatha practice; - chair yoga; - restorative yoga. For practice, two straps, blocks, and a yoga chair will be needed, but if a person does not have special equipment, they can use whatever is at hand. This book contains a huge amount of information about the latest research and modern principles of physiology. It will undoubtedly become a constant companion for experts engaged in research in the field of yoga and practicing yogis who want to delve deeper into how training affects the body. — INDIRA SUBRAMANIAN, MD, Professor of the Neurology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles
