Скачать или смотреть Hatha Yoga Illustrated by Martin Kirk, Brooke Boon and Daniel DiTuro

Originally published in 2004, Hatha Yoga Illustrated has remained a popular text for the past 15 years. It’s the second hatha yoga title on our list and also a second for Daniel DiTuro.

This highly visual guide offers an introduction to hatha yoga for anyone and everyone. Its main focus is on the physical postures (asanas). However, it also includes details on how to get into the poses, find proper alignment and obtain the greatest benefit from your practice.

Easy to understand instructions and a substantial collection of images make this a perfect book for beginners. All poses are presented from start to finish, showing you how to achieve proper alignment and breathing throughout. There are also introductions into yogic breathing (pranayama), the yoga of the hands (mudras) and meditation.

Although it’s a great book for beginners, instructors will benefit from 11 sample yoga routines. These show how to assemble the poses into workouts based on difficulty, intensity and duration.
