There has been a lot of emphasis from both public health campaigns and the wellness industry on getting people moving ‘more’. We all now know that we are supposed to do 10,000 steps per day and many of us possess some sort of wearable tech to track how much distance we cover; however, how we move is still somewhat ignored.

Due to the sedentary nature of modern life, the destiny for many is muscles and joints that slowly tighten over the years. All of a sudden you realise that you can’t sit comfortably in a squat, touch your toes or get up from sitting on the floor without using your hands. In life, if we don’t use the movement, we lose the movement.

In STRETCH, professional movement coach Roger Frampton is here to tell you that flexibility and mobility should really be likened to brushing your teeth daily, on waking up and before you sleep. Combining light bodyweight exercises, gentle twists and elongating stretches, STRETCH is a daily programme of seven essential movements (with three variations of each) to help combat the key areas of the body that have lost functionality, improve overall wellbeing and fight the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. All without a gym membership.

Your Body, Your Yoga looks not only at the body's unique anatomical structures and what this means to everyone's individual range of motion, but also examines the physiological sources of restrictions to movement.

Two volumes are provided in this book: Volume 1 raises a new mantra to be used in every yoga posture: What Stops Me?

The answers presented run through a spectrum, beginning with a variety of tensile resistance to three kinds of compressive resistance. Examined is the nature of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, bones and our extracellular matrix and their contribution to mobility. The shape of these structures also defines our individual, ultimate range of movement, which means that not every body can do every yoga posture. The reader will discover where his or her limits lie, which dictates which alignment cues will work best, and which ones should be abandoned.

Volume 2 will take these principles and apply them to the lower body, examining the hip joint, the knee, ankle and foot, and will present how your unique variations in these joints will show up in your yoga practice.

The Yogaru 108 Asana Yoga Cards are designed as an easy to follow sequencing guide for all levels of experience, to make your practice more accessible at home, travelling or when building a class.

Each card has alignment cues, levels guide, a unique coding system based on yoga anatomy, and Sanskrit/English asana names. The cards also come with sample sequences and an extensive list of asana benefits to help you tailor to your needs.

Designed and illustrated by a certified yoga teacher, the cards are divided into Asana families, starting with Warm up and ending with Restorative. There are two different ways to build your sequence – simply pick a selection of asana using the Levels guide to suit your level of experience or pick a Peak pose you would like to work towards and use the anatomy coding system to build your sequence. 

Each card has a level guide to help you pick suitable poses for your level of experience. If you are a beginner, pick a range of Level 1 cards; if you are intermediate, introduce Level 2 cards; and if you have an advanced practice, include Level 3 cards. Pick a range of different poses – starting with Warm up and finishing with Restorative. For every 30 minutes of practice, include 5 minutes of Savasana.

The cards also have a collection of anatomy codes to help you understand which muscles of the body are being stretched and/or strengthened. When sequencing, start by identifying a ‘peak pose’ you would like to explore. Then pick a selection of poses from a variety of families that work one or more of the muscle groups from your chosen pose. Working from simple poses to more challenging ones, a well-balanced practice will include all of the families – starting with Warm up and finishing with Restorative.

This daring, visionary book revolutionises yoga practice and makes it truly accessible to everyone, in every body, at any age, and in any state of health.

Yoga practice has so much to offer us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Yet, yoga is truly a practice for all, conferring enormous benefits to our overall well-being as our bodies change, age, and navigate various health challenges.

Jivana Heyman, founder of Accessible Yoga, views yoga as a basic human right, saying we all deserve to practise it in whatever state we find our body or mind.

Accessible Yoga offers a simple, clear, and wonderfully adaptable practice for all people regardless of ability, health, and body type. Heyman has spent over twenty years sharing yoga with people of all abilities and backgrounds, and in this book, he shares his knowledge by breaking down complex yoga poses, breathing practices, meditation techniques, and yoga teachings into clearly understandable and practical tools we can use every day, regardless of our limitations or challenges.

Yoga is for every body, including yours!

This book offers yoga for all types of body: from plus size yoga and pregnancy yoga, to yoga for the elderly or disabled, there's something for all.

No matter who you are or what your abilities are, you can do each of the 50 poses in this book. The variations and modifications to classic yoga poses will also allow you to perform all 10 sequences, which combine different poses into one singular experience and focus on specific physical and mental benefits.

The Vinyasa Yoga Workbook is a workbook for those who want to choose their own sequence of asanas as they see fit with no set superimposed structure.

As we consider yoga to be the universal language of body, mind and spirit, the asana are linguistically neutral and there are no explanations of the postures in the workbook. Its goal is to allow more time to be focused on the process of learning itself and ease the construction of your own preferred sequences. The left pages contain artistically hand sketched drawings of 90 positions, grouped into steading and seated poses, backbends, inversions, arm balances and resting poses, while the right page is left blank so you may write down the notes. Some of the Vinyasa Yoga Workbook’s drawings are based upon the photos from David Swenson’s Practice manual.

The Vinyasa Yoga Workbook is designed to be used as a tool to fully understand anatomy, alignment and the technical details and therefore is equally suitable whether you are a teacher or a student, working in a group or alone, using it during teacher trainings, workshops or self-study. It's based upon the Ashtanga style of yoga and modified to fit the faster nature and pace of Vinyasa. It’s made for those who need more force in their yoga and aim for a vigorous powerful sequence.

Vinyasa yoga is a broader yoga term describing the way yoga is performed and can be applied to various styles. It is also often referred to as “power yoga” and the name itself translates as “arranging something in a special way”. In Vinyasa yoga, the movement synchronises to the breath and is also known as “flow yoga”, as the poses flow and become like a dance.

The Vinyasa Yoga Workbook is made from unbleached recycled paper, in A5 format with soft covers, and can be rolled up in a mat. It was designed to be elegant, clean and fluid as to emulate the yoga practice itself.

A yoga book for the chronically inflexible, with practical, down-to-earth advice for weekend warriors, aging athletes, and anyone else who could benefit from a bit more flexibility in their lives.

The benefits of yoga - greater strength, flexibility, and presence of mind - are for anyone, no matter their skill level. But most classes don't feel that way if you're a first-timer--or an inflexible male.

Enter Yoga for the Inflexible Male, a welcoming and humorous guide for people of all stripes that gives three vetted hour-long yoga routines, each with roughly a dozen yoga poses. The poses are illustrated and described in depth, and each one contains variations so that they are accessible to anyone, no matter their flexibility.

The back of the book also has sequences geared for practitioners of specific sports, like running, biking, climbing, and so on. As more and more men are encouraged to increase their flexibility, the health advantages of yoga are no longer beyond their reach.
