10 Minute Yogi: The World's Most Efficient Yoga Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781471789328)

This is the most efficient yoga manual to date. Slick, to the point, yet somehow encapsulating the breadth of this tradition. In just 40 pages, Trent covers five main areas: Defining Yoga and the Eight Limbs - Physical postures are but one limb. Learn the ancient foundation laid out by the Sages. Asana (posture) - Trent shares some deep principles for building the perfect posture, split into two categories: anatomical techniques and psychedelic techniques. In the appendix, he provides a list of foundational asanas, including images and step-by-step instructions. Pranayama (breathwork) - Learn the mechanisms of healthy breathing, and how, counterintuitively, breathing less is a sign of superior health. He then provides exercises that will help you navigate the wide world of pranayama. Meditation - Trent starts by grappling with the slippery definition of meditation. Thankfully, he pins that sucker down. We then look at the benefits of meditation through the lens of a western scientist and an eastern mystic. At the end is a list of techniques that are simple yet effective at centering the Self. The Yogi's Guide to Lifelong Practice - There are many puzzle pieces that will help you fit yoga into your daily life. Consistency, group practice, independent practice, and adequate theoretical knowledge are all factors that will ensure your life-long commitment. Here's a goal: Do yoga every day until your last. This section will help you with such a goal. From the big picture to step-by-step, Trent unpacks the fundamentals in a way that is fun, fresh, and original. This is the perfect crash course for a busy person who wants to achieve optimal well-being.
