Shambhala Publications Inc Yoga Revolution: Building a Practice of Courage
Book SynopsisIt is time to address the dissonance between the often superficial way yoga is currently being practiced and the depth of yoga’s ancient universal spiritual teachings. In this clarion call to action, Jivana Heyman offers a blueprint for cultivating a practice based in the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras in service of those experiencing exclusion and oppression.Heyman illuminates the yogic mandate of seva—or acts of service that see, care for, and uplift those around us—as a way to serve the world without losing your way. Through pose sequences, practice prompts such as “Embracing Failure,” and stories from yoga teachers who are implementing seva in their classes, Heyman shows you what it means to serve, how to serve, and how to promote inclusivity through your service. Our job, says Heyman, is not to clear our mind through yoga practice, but rather to expand it so widely that it can embrace the entire universe.

Includes more than 80 exercises and 43 instructional drawings.Teach People, Not Poses is the manual that yoga teachers and yoga therapists need to help their students step onto the mat on their own terms, comfortably and safely. Mary Richards, a yoga teacher, yoga therapist, and expert in kinesiology and anatomy, says that we leave too many people off the mat, due to overly aggressive pace, sequence, and ambition in asana. She offers advice, techniques, observations, practices, and sequences to give teachers and yoga therapists the tools they need to move beyond the popular ideas of ?should? on the mat.To safely guide others in asana, especially when people come to the mat for relief from residual effects of acute injuries, chronic pain, and repetitive strain, yoga teachers need to understand what is typical and atypical in terms of posture and movement. Richards offers teachers myriad exercises to address imbalances and strengthen, such as "Tighten the Corset" for deep core training "Forearm Chaturanga/Plank" to develop core strength and stability "Revolved Warrior I with Resistance Band" for core stabilization "Wall-supported Downward-facing Dog" to activate the abdominal muscles and support the lower back and much more This unique book masterfully blends yoga philosophy withpractical body knowledge and physical core stabilization skills,so that asana is truly an individualized expression?and what the Yoga Sutras describe as sthira sukham asanam, asana that is steady and comfortable.

Morgan James Publishing llc Running All Over the World
Book SynopsisWhen Anthony L. Copeland-Parker and his partner Catherine were in their fifties, they learned that he needed a heart-valve replacement, and she had early-onset Alzheimer's. Their past experience as endurance athletes lead them to react accordingly—to sell their home, retire from their jobs, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world.Anthony L. Copeland-Parker’s Running All Over the World began as a blog written during his travels, a nonfiction account of his five-plus years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing with his partner Catherine—from Atlanta to Antarctica and back again. Part travelogue and part medical memoir, Anthony’s writing transports readers to exotic places like Madagascar, Bhutan, and the Great Wall of China while providing a look at the day-to-day realities of living out of a suitcase.Running All Over the World is an offbeat story about life and love, recounting the trials and tribulations of an ex-pilot with a passion for vistas and logistics and a woman so tough she walks a half-marathon in the Australian Outback mere weeks after breaking her ankle. During their years as nomads, Anthony and Catherine tested the physical and mental limits of their bodies and finished every race hand in hand.Trade Review"Catherine and Tony are an inspiration to anyone who faces adversity during their running career. It has been our distinct pleasure to present them with the coveted Inspiration award for their courage and tenacity. It has been a joy to get to know them through our travels with the RunningCruise.com. We are privileged to call them friends."-John, “The Penguin,” Bingham and Coach Jenny Hadfield“We at AlzAuthors.com are in awe of Tony Copeland-Parker and his journey with his beloved Cat. Running All Over the World is their amazing love story. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired to continue to keep their loved ones engaged in activity, pushing past currently accepted limits that memory impairment may place on the lives of those impacted. We all continue to learn from Tony and Cat through each new blogpost about their lives continuing their path together.”-AlzAuthors"If you are fortunate to know Cat and Tony, you know they are two of the most uniquely special people you will ever meet. Dedicated, Inspiring, Loving and Persistent are the words frequently used when their friends are describing them. After sharing adventures with these two global nomads in Antarctica, Bhutan, South Africa, & Patagonia, I am a proud lifelong member of their fan club. Thankfully for those who have not had the pleasure of meeting Cat and Tony; now is your chance to hear their story, to share in their global adventures and to be inspired. Running All Over the World, Our Race Against Early Onset Alzheimer’s will make you a fan too!"-Jeff Adams, President of Marathon Tours & Travel"This is a must read book for anyone who has Alzheimer’s or has relatives who are dealing with it in any way. It’s an invitation to hope and have faith while staying active and fit. I highly recommend it."-Jeff Galloway, American Olympian and the author of Galloway’s Book on Running

Octopus Publishing Group The Insomnia Diaries: How I learned to sleep
Book SynopsisA Telegraph readers' best book of the yearA Financial Times readers' best 2021 summer book'A powerful new book' - The Daily Mail'Quite the story... fascinating' - Claire Byrne, RTE1'This memoir meets manual with expert tips is both honest and helpful' - Victoria Woodhall, Get the GlossFOREWORD BY DR SOPHIE BOSTOCK'29th June 0 HOURS, 0 MINUTES Eleven forty-seven pm. A door slams as the neighbour's teenage son comes home from the pub. An hour later, the last Tube rumbles past and I thump my pillow over to find a cool spot. I refuse to open the window because of my fear of hearing the first bird of morning, confirmation that the next day is about to start and I have failed, yet again. Failed in my quest to sleep, which one would think is a basic human right.But I am not a POW whose captors breach the Geneva Convention. No one has stolen my sleep from me. I am not wired up to electrodes, a neon light is not shining in my face all night long. I have blackout blinds and a king-size bed all to myself. My enemies are my brain and a body that has forgotten how to shut down.'After a single, catastrophic event, journalist Miranda Levy had one sleepless night, then another, and then another. She sought help from anyone she could: doctors, a therapist, an acupuncturist, a hypnotist, a reiki practitioner and a personal trainer - but nothing seemed to work.Sleep, wellbeing and mental health are intrinsically linked. Yet sleeplessness is surprisingly common: 16 million of us suffer from insomnia, and the sleep industry is worth £100 billion (Daily Mail). In The Insomnia Diaries, Miranda Levy tells the story of her experience of severe, disabling insomnia that affected every aspect of her life for years, and how she ultimately recovered. Part memoir, part reportage, this book will help anyone who struggles to get a good night's sleep - whether occasionally or all of the time - appreciate the issues and understand the options as they find their best way to get the rest they need. Dr Sophie Bostock, scientist, sleep expert and member of the team who developed the award-winning digital programme Sleepio, contributes a foreword. She and a host of expert contributors have advised on the medical elements within the text throughout.
