Overview

For the 16.5 million yoga practitioners in America, Swedish yoga instructor Ulrica Norberg's fresh look at Hatha yoga ("the way of the body") will be a perfect entrée to the art of exercising to produce a strong mind and a harmonious soul. Focusing on pacing, not perfection, Norberg explains proper breathing and asanas, poses developed to increase consciousness, relaxation, strength, and concentration.

Lavishly illustrated with gorgeous full-color photographs, Hatha Yoga is sure to inspire beginning and advanced yoga practitioners alike.
