Breath - Sandra Sabatini

A fabulous book which introduces you to the importance of breathing in yoga practice.

As water purifies the skin, so the breath is capable of cleansing your whole being. And as you reconnect with the breath through effortless observation and increased awareness, a door to the unexpected is opened. There are infinite discoveries and benefits to be experienced: a feeling of lightness, renewed energy, a greater calmness and clarity of mind. The breath begins to cleanse and purify at a deep level.

This book is full of insights and images, distilled from Sandra Sabatini's yoga classes, to help you learn how to listen to the breath and how to approach some simple positions. Whether you are a complete beginner or already practice some form of bodywork, these subtle, gentle suggestions can guide you naturally to a deeper appreciation of the essence of yoga.

This gentle but intense approach to yoga, which has been developed by Sandra for the last 25 years, has its roots in the classical Indian tradition of Iyengar. Her reputation, due to her subtle style and inspired teaching, has spread by word of mouth and to date she has chosen to keep a low profile.

Breath: The Essence of Yoga takes you on a wonderful journey of breathing and yoga techniques for health and peace of mind. Beautifully written and presented it will be a book to cherish and enjoy.
