Yoga Animals

<p><b>Written by yoga instructor Emily Sharratt and featuring incredible artwork from artist Jade Mosinski, alongside step-by-step instructions for each pose, this is an essential manual and celebration of yoga. </b><br><br>As every yoga practitioner knows, many of the key asanas (or poses) and breath exercises are <b>inspired by the animal kingdom.</b> From camels to <b>cobras</b>, and from lizards to lions, so many animals have loaned their characteristics and shape as well as their name to the practice of yoga. Whether you're channelling the flamboyance of a <b>peacock</b> or the pride and power of an eagle, you are part of an old and beautiful tradition, and one that is practised all over the world. <br><br>The format of the book follows the template of a <b>full, well-rounded yoga session</b>, incorporating <b>stretching, strengthening, energizing</b> and <b>calming elements</b>, while drawing on a number of different yoga styles, from <i>vinyasa</i> flows to more static Yin poses.<br><br><i>Yoga Animals</i> is a beautiful collection of poses based in the natural world, which will show you how to embrace this within each yoga session.</p>
