Yoga While You Wait is about taking your yoga practices out into the real world.
Judith Stoletzky introduces the reader to yoga fit for reality. The book is packed with helpful posture tips and humour in equal measure.
Enjoy Markus Abele’s playful photography of life all too often spent waiting around.
The book is based on the idea that you don’t need a studio or a yoga mat or fancy yoga pants. You can “find purpose in each pointless pause” or pose.
When you’re stuck in the modern world it’s hard to find the time to have a regular yoga practice. And that’s okay, the authors are encouraging you to make your everyday life more mindful.
You can practice yoga while you are waiting. Be glad when you’re stuck in traffic or put on hold. Be grateful when the waiting room is full. Give thanks to the date that never shows up on time. Now you can turn mindless waiting into moments of mindfulness with stretches and poses to build up your strength, poise, and flexibility.
The book has a small introduction and conclusion. The majority of the book is dedicated to the yoga poses. You’ll read about each pose and suggested times and places to practice it. The pose includes the traditional name and clear instructions on how to do it. There are 32 poses with a colour photograph.
I enjoy stretching my back while holding on to the kitchen sink, and then between a doorway. You might be surprised by the different ways you can start adding yoga into your daily routine.
Yoga While You Wait has the ideal pose for every pointless pause. The book is perfect as a coffee table book for your reception area or a present for a yoga fan.
