This book belongs in the library of every serious practitioner of yoga and meditation."--Stephen Cope, Director, Kripalu Institute, author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self "When I first met Sarah it didn't take me long to figure out that she was a yogini of relentless curiosity and great depth. In In Yoga she lets the reader into her thinking, her practice, and her life in a way that both inspires and instructs. In Yoga is destined to become a classic."--Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, author of A Year of Living Your Yoga "Sarah Powers's synthesis of wisdom traditions is awesome. Indeed, each tradition is like a transparent , which when overlaid one upon another, gives a more complete rendering of the Living Event in which we are all participants. In Yoga will be of tremendous interest and benefit to many people."--Erich Schiffmann, author of Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving Into Stillness Synopsis -------- Sarah Powers is widely known for her original ideas and techniques for using yoga both for and spiritual growth. Combining traditional yoga techniques with the meridians of Chinese medicine and meditation, she has created a practice she calls In Yoga: a series of sequences that teaches both the dynamic flow poses (yang) and the more passive resting poses (yin) is its foundation. Demonstrated by the author in beautiful photographs, the poses balance gentle stretches with dynamic moves for ultimate benefit to organs, muscles, joints, and tendons. Powers offers a basic explanation of Chinese medicine theory, as well as of Buddhist mindfulness meditation.
