In the following excerpt, author Jacine Harrington explains why she wrote The Beauty of Yoga.
The Beauty of Yoga was written to demonstrate yoga's postures, and to introduce a new approach to yoga, "chakra" yoga. Most importantly, this book was written to reveal yoga's beauty and gentleness and how it can promote inner healing and better health. At its most basic level, yoga is a method of reducing stress in your body while helping it become strong and supple. A regular practice of yoga offers you much more!
My approach to yoga, "chakra" yoga, is unique in that it incorporates exploring and becoming in tune with your emotional and mental body while working on your physical body. As you release on a physical level, you also release on an emotional level, and vice versa. This book will help you recognize this happening in your body, so that you may gain more benefit from your practice of yoga.
Yoga is the union of body and mind. Through its practice, you learn how to come from, and live in, a place of calm and centeredness, discovering a balance in your everyday life.
