Synopsis

Dynamic Yoga is a unique combination of dynamic breathing and strong, flowing movement which creates a high-heat, high-energy workout. The choreographed sequence of postures that flow into one another build strength, unwind tight joints, and loosen muscles.

It is a complete mind and body workout that develops concentration and reduces stress.

Dynamic Yoga, based on the techniques of Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, is the fast, powerful form of yoga which has taken the yoga world by storm. It has attracted a lot of interest due to the claims that it can provide as effective a cardiovascular workout as a conventional exercise-to-music class. Thus it is attracting people from the fitness and ‘body culture’ world who are seeking new ways to keeping super fit. It is fast becoming the new Iyengar in yoga fashion terms.

About this title

From the Back Cover

'Dynamic Yoga' is an unbeatable form of exercise. Combining fitness training with stress release in a single dynamic workout, its scientifically devised sequence of postures will bring you to the peak of your physical and mental powers. The flowing sequences are carried out in conjunction with dynamic breathing, creating a deep heat in the body which enables you to build up strength, flexibility, stamina, concentration and alertness. You are then left in a state of vibrant relaxation.

'Dynamic Yoga' has something for everyone – not just those who are physically fit or spiritually inclined. It is an effective, simplified way to gain the far-reaching benefits of classical Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga not available in many contemporary yoga styles. Through the sweat-inducing heat of the dynamic workouts you will pass beyond the tensions of your body and the anxieties of your mind. However fit or flexible you are, your body will be totally charged and your mind fully chilled.

Each of the nine workouts is fully illustrated with a set of black and white photographs showing you how to move safely and effectively in, out and through the postures.
