From the Back Cover

Yoga offers a system of gentle exercise combined with self-fulfilment, which is ideally attuned to the needs of busy women.

Yoga needs no special equipment, it is not competitive and will help you set aside time for yourself. It will enable you to cope with the stresses of life and explore conflicts about self-image and self-esteem in a gentle untraumatic way.

'Yoga for Women' includes:
• A system of exercises to celebrate womanhood
• A basic yoga 'vocabulary' of postures and breathing
• A programme of postures for life passages from adolescence through pregnancy to old age

It is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with experience and has been illustrated with photographs and line drawings.

By enhancing your flexibility, strength and power, yoga will give you access to inner peace and tranquillity. It is valuable when feeling fragile, physically vulnerable or undermined, and enriches times of confidence, exuberance and celebration.

Paddy O'Brien has practised and taught yoga for many years. She is also a self-defence teacher and director of a personal training consultancy. Widely published, Paddy is the author of 'Birth and Our Bodies' and 'Your Life After Birth' and is the mother of five children.
