Book Reviews of Gardener's Yoga: Bend and Stretch, Dig and Grow
Book Review: A Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love to garden and I have fibromyalgia. This book has yoga that I can do.
She even shows how to modify "Downward Facing Dog" so that now I can do it.
Gardening and yoga do go together and this is the only book I have found that
combines the two. The illustrations are outstandingly beautiful. If this author wrote another yoga book for the very beginner, I would buy it. I will also look for books with the same illustrator. This is not for someone who regularyly practices yoga - It is for somone who wants to incorporate yoga into their life but they are not flexible enough for a beginner tape. It is also a routine in short segments. I want to get outside to "play" not spend an hour missing a sunny morning. This book has moves to do before you go outside, moves during your gardening and moves after. THANK YOU VERONICA FOR THIS LOVELY BOOK! ---Peggy
Summary of Gardener's Yoga: Bend and Stretch, Dig and Grow
Gardening is considered a contemplative, gentle pastime, but it makes many demands on the human body. The 21 yoga positions in this colorful guide are intended to energize gardeners so they can enjoy planting, mulching, digging, and harvesting without the aching back and sore knees. The first section, "Breaking Ground," emphasizes warming up the spine and gently engaging the hips, back, and neck. Section two, "Planting Seeds," focuses on standing and balancing poses. The last section, "Harvest," covers relaxation, elongating tired muscles, and refocusing the spirit. Yoga balances the central nervous system, tones and cleanses the internal organs, strengthens the circulatory system, and promotes an overall sense of well-being and contentment. This guide draws on that ancient discipline to transform taxing activities - from crawling between rows to weed and squatting for hours to plant seedlings to digging out new beds and watering - into rituals of rejuvenation for mind, body, and spirit.Yoga Books
