From celebrities to big-time athletes to recovering heart patients, everybody's doing Yoga these days. If you'd like to join them, Yoga For Dummies can get you started. In easy-to-understand language, this book shows you how to design and follow your own personal Yoga program; how to manage stress at home, in the office, or on the road; and even how you can employ Yoga to cope better with such conditions as hypertension, pregnancy, and menopause. This practical mind-and-body discipline can enrich the lives -- both physical and spiritual -- of virtually everyone.

Authors Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., and Larry Payne, Ph.D., draw on their comprehensive, expert knowledge of Yoga to demonstrate that anyone can use Yoga for improved health and greater peace of mind -- qualities we could all use in today's fast-paced society. From the basics of selecting the appropriate clothing, atmosphere, and props to discovering how you can look and feel better with just a few simple postures, this book brings you all the ins and outs of Yoga.

This is the recently revised 2nd Edition that includes the newest practices that have emerged since the publication of the 1st edition in 2000, but still maintains an emphasis on safe approaches and easy-to-understand instruction.

Whether your goal is to manage your stress or to embrace Yoga as a lifestyle, Yoga For Dummies is an enlightening, must-read book!
