Yoga - The 108 most important exercises by Wanda Badwal

»Your yoga mat is your very own island to meet yourself.«

In her yoga practice book, the charismatic yoga teacher Wanda Badwal explains the 108 most important asanas step by step and describes their holistic effect. She provides helpful basic knowledge about the history of yoga, yoga philosophy, the chakra system and Ayurveda, so that this book can become a standard work and loyal companion for all yogis.

The passionate yoga teacher's aim is to make the broad spectrum of yoga accessible to everyone. Clear, illustrated instructions and variations of the postures make it easier for every beginner to get started. All advanced yogis can also expand their knowledge of how the individual asanas affect the chakras and our Ayurvedic constitutional type - our dosha. To prepare for yoga practice at home, she shows exercises for spinal mobilization and strengthening the core of the body. She also gives helpful support to avoid possible mistakes and practical advice for individual yoga practice at home.

The 108 asanas are divided into the following six chapters:

• Backbends
• Side bends
• Prevent
• Rotations
• Stretches
• Inversions
  

Wanda is a real full-time yogi. For her, yoga is not just about physical exercise, but rather about living the yogic principles in everyday life away from the mat. For her, yoga is a holistic path to self-knowledge and personal development. Ideally, this path leads us to more self-reflection, increases our mindfulness and ultimately helps us to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. Wanda shows us how we can harmonize our own yoga practice with our individual needs. A conscious, balanced practice gives us more physical and mental stability and inner balance. In this way, yoga can naturally become a spiritual practice and an inner path to self-discovery.

The ideal book for all beginners and those who want to deepen their yoga practice – including warm-up sequences, breathing and meditation exercises.
