Complete Guide to Pilates, Yoga, Meditation & Stress Relief by Parragon Publishing

From the Publisher

The four sections of this book can be read as stand-alone modules, but they are complementary. Together they offer comprehensive and practical advice to help you overcome the pressures of modern life the natural way, to maintain health, regain vitality, and achieve peace of mind.

Read them all and take elements from each to develop your own personalized approach to taking care of yourself that suits your circumstances and your lifestyle. Pilates is a physical therapy that works on different muscles to tone and condition the body, while developing correct breathing, good posture, and mental concentration and focus. It improves balance, coordination, and flexibility, and streamlines the body. It is a great way of changing your body shape for the better without creating muscle "bulk."

Yoga can help you to improve your physical health, tone your muscles and internal organs, relieve inner tension, reduce weight, and strengthen your bones. But ii not only works on your body, it also guides you toward relaxation and shows you how to become more balanced, centered, and calm.

Meditation is an important element of yoga, too, but it is of course also a therapy in its own right, and there is more to it than just relaxation. This book shows how, with practice, meditation can be used to restrain the wanderings or "chatter" of the mind, so that you can bring yourself back to full awareness and experience things as they really are.

No matter what your age or level of fitness, your life can be better. This book shows you how to find the time to take better care of yourself and guides you slowly toward an improved sense of well-being in all areas of your life-physical, emotional, and spiritual.
