"This groundbreaking book introduces an entirely new integration of yoga and meditation: Mindfulness Yoga. Mindfulness Yoga emphasizes the spiritual side of yoga practice, a dimension too often overlooked. In a manner unlike any book before it, Mindfulness Yoga presents the two disciplines as a single practice that enlivens the body, liberates the spirit, and awakens compassion, equanimity, and joy. Whether you're a beginner or have been practicing for years, Mindfulness Yoga is for you. User-friendly, easy-to-follow sequences are laid out with over 100 accompanying photos in this innovative presentation of mind-fulness meditation and yoga. Special lay-flat binding makes this book even more useful as a practice aid. Book jacket."--Jacket.
