Yoga:
The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness
by
Erich Schiffmann
The book centers on the
practice of hatha yoga and contains detailed descriptions of how to do the
postures, as well as for progressing through difficult poses. The foundation
of the book centers on teaching the internals of yoga practice, more
specifically on harnessing the body’s
inner energy in each pose. The author teaches both Iyengar and Desikachar
approaches as well as the concept of listening to your body to learn when
to stay within or push your limits.

Wai
Lana 137 Yoga Mat
A mat is
an essential piece of equipment for all practitioners of Yoga. The Wai Lana
137 offers a stable surface to keep from slipping out of poses, as well as
a comfortable foundation from which to begin, develop, and maintain your
yoga poses. To care for the mat is pretty easy, simply washing it with cold
water and a detergent of your choice when it gets dirty and then squeezing
it with a towel to dry. As an added bonus, the mat takes up almost no
storage space as rolls up to a tube shape with an approximate diameter of
four inches for easy transport to your class.
