If you're trying to push your way through endings, beginnings, and places of uncertainty, only to find yourself more confused, disconnected, tired, and uncertain, this book will hold and fortify you.

Yoga teacher and activist, Octavia Raheem, offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all sorts of change. Change in our lives-whether it be welcome, joyful, challenging, or more subtle-presents us with the opportunity to pause and gather our energy to work with whatever lies ahead. Drawing wisdom from yoga philosophy and her many years of teaching experience, Octavia Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all types of change. Raheem gives us three simple restorative yoga poses (savasana, side lying pose, and child's pose), and offers short teachings, reflections, and practices to see us through times of ending, beginning, and liminal/transitional space. She shows us how slowing down, stillness, and deeper connection to our own transitions empower us to move through collective shifts with more grace-and what it means to navigate shifts and change with presence and courage.

Each section includes fifteen short chapters that encourage us to rest, evoke memory, journal, pray, practice, and inquire about what we believe is possible for the future. In doing so, we are invited to come home to right now with a renewed sense of connection across space, time, and our human collective.

From Anna Ashby, one of the first yoga teachers in the UK to offer this style, comes a complete overview of restorative yoga for teachers, trainees and experienced students.

Arranged into three sections, the book is designed to help readers understand the history, purpose and characteristics of the practice; its feel and expression with an emphasis on breath, process and introspection; and how to structure a successful practice. Each section ends with self-enquiry and breath exploration so teachers can practically apply the knowledge shared in each chapter and build a framework for a successful teaching practice.

Helping the reader to understand their own patterns of behaviour and cultural imprints, which may interfere with the ability to downshift the nervous system and ultimately relax, Restorative Yoga supplies all the necessary preparations to successfully teach this style of yoga.

The 10th Anniversary Edition of "Yin Yoga: Outline of a Quiet Practice" by Paul Grilley brings together in a fresh way the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Taoism with Hindu yoga practices.

With over 80,000 copies sold, Grilley's book has been enhanced with new materials describing the evolution of Yin Yoga within the Yoga world over the last decade plus new reference materials on anatomy and the practice of Yin Yoga. Yoga as practised in the US is almost exclusively Yang or muscular in nature. The Yin aspect of Yoga (using postures that stretch connective tissue) is virtually unknown but vital for a balanced approach to physical and mental health.

Paul Grilley outlines how to practise postures in a Yin way. Grilley includes an explanation of modern meridian Theory, which states that the meridians of acupuncture theory are currents flowing through the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga is specifically designed to address these tissues. The two major differences between a Yin and a Yang Yoga practice are that Yin postures should be done with the muscles relaxed and should be held a long time. This is because connective tissue does not stretch like muscle and will not respond well to brief stresses.

In addition, Yin Yoga better prepares people for meditation. For yoga practitioners looking for something beyond physical postures. Yin Yoga addresses the deeper spiritual dimensions of yoga, with helpful sections on chakras, breathing exercises, and meditation.

Nirlipta Tuli & Uma Dinsmore-Tuli deliver 73 minutes of yoga nidra in this selection of practices for everyday use to give you a choice of different yoga nidra experiences.

Yoga Nidra is everybody’s treasure. Literally it means ‘yoga sleep’, but in essence it is an awakening to the meditative heart of yoga, an effortless state of being that invites you to come home to yourself. In the state of yoga nidra, the physical body rests, restores and revitalises, whilst the mental awareness is first guided, and then set free to access deep levels of healing and peace.

There are many different approaches to the practice of yoga nidra. In truth, it is not really a practice at all, but a way of being.

Total Yoga Nidra creatively utilises the most effective combinations of many different components of yoga nidra to invite you to experience states of resting awareness which are both healing and meditative. Enjoy!

Yoga Nidra provides an unmatched way to experience the culmination of the art of yoga, and the deeper physical, emotional, and spiritual rewards that are its promise.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient tantric yoga path that leads to inner freedom. Through accessible language appropriate for any level of practice, master teacher Richard Miller takes us step-by-step through the traditional techniques of relaxation and meditation to help us move toward the realisation of "unqualified presence" - the ultimate aim of yoga - a goal unreachable through posture practice alone.The deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra can lead to relief from day-to-day stress, healing from painful emotions, more effective and energising sleep, and much more.

So if you love the moment at the end of a yoga class when you come to rest in savasana, which Miller explains can be a manifestation of Yoga Nidra, then why not explore Yoga Nidra further with this powerful integration of book and CD audio learning?
