Vinyasa Yoga, a meditation in movement by Julien Levy at Editions Jouvence
Have you ever dreamed of "floating" or even "flying" from one posture to another? What if for once you let your breathing lead the dance and your body follow its rhythm?
By following the main principles of Vinyasa yoga (synchronization with breathing, fluidity, alignment, concentration, stability, comfort, etc.) you will simply learn to meditate in movement and feel confident with the flows of life.
Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced practitioner, this manual will give you all the useful keys to feel the benefits of this transformative yoga. You will thus have the possibility to strengthen and soften your muscles, stimulate your cardiovascular activity, detoxify your internal organs, reduce your stress, soothe your mind and your emotions or even cleanse your energy system.
2 sun salutations, 1 moon salutation and 7 sequences composed of around ten postures each are offered here to meet your main needs (relieve your neck or lower back, strengthen your perineum, make your pelvis more flexible, (re)find balance and confidence, recharge your batteries, sleep better, etc.) while inviting you to respect yourself and become aware of the movement.
"The postures are like so many beads of a mala, the meditation rosary, threaded on the thread of conscious breathing. The practice then becomes a form of meditation in movement, in the fluidity of a dance with the breath and the universe."
