My Yoga/My Way

Guiding the reader through concise text and fun images, ‘My Yoga My Way’ teaches most anyone at any age how to enjoy and continue yoga for a lifetime.

The book is written in first person with the intention of having the reader take possession of the practice presented in three chapters:

Chapter I, ‘My Yoga’ consists of three sections: Breathing, Poses and Calming. Cuddly stuffed toys placed somewhere within each image lead the reader through classic yoga poses. For example, Garland pose is a balance. Squatting with my knees apart, I place my arms between them. My hands come together and I count to 10.

Chapter II shows the ‘5 Tibetan Rites,’ which can be practiced every day for life. Tibetan Rite 2: I lie on the floor and lift my legs and head together, repeating the movement 3 times.

Chapter III is a reprint of ‘I Am a Yogi - My First Book of Yoga’, introducing a basic yoga sequence with the addition of text translated into Spanish and French. The colorful illustrations show how to do each movement:

Now, I lie down on my tummy and fold my arms under my head. My feet turn out and I rest, breathing in and out like a big green crocodile.

Ahora me acuesto boca abajo y doblo los brazos debajo de la cabeza. Los pies quedan abiertos y me descanso respirando como un gran cocodrilo verde.

Maintenant, je m’allonge sur mon ventre et je plie mes bras sous ma tête. mes pieds tournés vers l’ extérieur, je me repose. J’inspire et j’expire calmement comme un gros crocodile vert.
