Millions of people take time out of their busy schedules every day to
attend yoga classes where they learn postures and breathing techniques
that make them feel more energized and balanced. Thousands of other
people, however, have yet to find the time in their day to do anything
but work, study, or chase after their children. In The Joy of Yoga,
author and expert Emma Silverman teaches readers how to take advantage
of the health benefits yoga offers even when they can't make it to
regularly scheduled classes.


The Joy of Yoga offers short sequences that readers can perform while
seated on airplanes, standing at the bus stop, or even waiting for
water to boil. In addition, it also includes sequences to help with
daily aches, pains, and annoyances, such as tired feet, sensitive
wrists, neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, anxiety, and even
heartbreak. Gardeners, cyclists, and runners will also find exercises
that will help ease the tension in their muscles after long hours of
work or play.


The Joy of Yoga will also:

* Provide step-by-step instructions on asana (postures) and pranayama
(breathing techniques) for fifty sequences

* Includes the benefits of each sequence and helpful information about
modifications for poses

* Encourage readers to create sequences on their own, using the
sequences in the book as starting points
