Imagine If - Stories of Ordinary People with Extraordinary Grit

2021-10-21T10:08:25+01:00

Vendor: YOGMUM01
Type: Media
Price: 7.79

‘Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.’

Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, credited with spreading the gospel of yoga across the world, began to practise it as a young boy. He was, in those days, constantly unwell, and his brother-in-law thought yoga would help him cope. Over time, learning from his own experiences, Guruji refined and then redefined what he was taught. A disease-free state was no longer his goal; health, he had come to believe, included well-being of the body, mind, emotions, intellect, consciousness, morality, sociality and conscience.

It was ill health that introduced Guruji to yoga, and it was with yoga that he gifted health to millions across the world. In this inspirational book are stories of people with grit and determination, who overcame various challenges—amputated limbs, cancer, emotional trauma—with the aid of Iyengar Yoga. Guruji said, ‘Yoga does not change the way a person sees things; it transforms the person who sees.’ The book is a glimpse into how yoga can transform you if you open yourself to it.

Bringing together Guruji’s inspirational messages and his recommendations on asanas that help an individual cope with trauma, Imagine If is a necessary tool in our turbulent times created by Rajvi Mehta.

Family Wakes Us Up

Price: 5.99

How do a teacher of yoga and Buddhism and an ayurvedic practitioner prepare for parenting? How do they understand themselves as men, and fathers? How can love, separation, grief, acceptance, and falling in love again be spiritual practices? This is a serious book about family as the first site of our evolution. It's intimate, existentially honest and strangely funny.

Michael Stone and Matthew Remski share thirty years of yoga practice and teaching experience between them. They've each travelled far and wide to study and practise their contemplative arts - living in campervans in the dead of winter, dusty monasteries in South India, frigid temples in Japan and ashrams in rural America.

As they both became expectant fathers, Michael and Matthew began an exchange of deeply personal letters that explore the interweaving themes of their lives amidst teachings from Zen, anecdotes from the yoga mat, observations from meditation and Ayurvedic recipes for postpartum broth.

How does yoga inform their kitchen, laundry room and their love? How will they find help and take responsibility within a culture of manhood struggling to redefine itself? How can they use presence to integrate their past? How will supporting their partners through pregnancy, labour, and birth enrich their commitment to a spirituality rooted in intimacy and interdependence?

Yoga & Mindfulness for Pregnancy & Birth

Price: 5.99

Endorsed by Birthlight, Nadia Raafat?s Yoga & Mindfulness for Pregnancy & Birth programme is easy to follow and accessible for any mother-to-be:

Expertly bringing together three ancient traditions; yoga, meditation and birth dance and delivering them in a flowing package that makes them simple and accessible to all.

Featuring an introduction and five unique Mindfulness practices, covering the span of pregnancy from 14 weeks to the birth itself.

Each class contains a 30 minute mindful pregnancy yoga flow sequence and a 15 minute mindfulness meditation. This Mindful aspect of the class enables the pregnant woman to discover the awareness that emerges when she pays ?deliberate and open-hearted? attention to each moment-by-moment unfolding of her external and internal environment, training her to remain steady-minded and receptive with all aspects of herself to whatever is happening internally, or externally.

By class 5, she is both physically and psychologically ready to enter the birth experience and meet her child. The DVD culminates with a wonderful and celebratory birth dance in class 5 - the joyful expression of free-flow in the body and mind.

Becoming Mother encourages you to tap into the infinite source of what feels natural and real, let go of technique, and meet the experience as it arises with an open heart and mind. This active and insightful approach to pregnancy has also been proved to alleviate and often eliminate many common pregnancy related ailments, build strength and confidence in the pregnant woman as well as highly reducing any likelihood of post natal depression.
