A guru from the annals of Indian folklore? Or are those \"thousand-year-old poses\" really a twentieth century invention hidden behind a veil of tall stories? Were they based on movement science-or cooked-up creations with a big pinch of folklore? The New Yoga takes a brutally hard look at these critical questions. It proposes six radical steps to strip away the nonsense and provide common-sense yoga for the future, based on movement science: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Stretching is not the primary goal. Really? Yes. More important are ten other benefits including two new buzzwords, proprioception and interoception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Mobility tops flexibility. Focus on better control over a safe range of movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \"Practice and all is coming.\" Not so! Despite the famous guru's oft quotes words, we may never achieve certain poses. Trying will lead to injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Avoid repetitive stress and encourage brain health with frequent and varying moves on and off the mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 'Pretzels' pushing extreme flexibility lead to injury and misplaced envy. Hyper-mobility is not something to envy; it's sad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Maintain what works but question all for good evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Walker quotes a wide range of experts and speaks from his own 20-year yoga teacher-training experience. He dumps accepted dogma behind much current teaching and brings a fresh sparkle of evidence and science to twenty-first century yoga.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228823455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228823452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tellwell Talent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Rob Walker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440902942975,"sku":"9780228823452","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e0e5709-5835-4f02-972b-c0b4415a580a.jpg?v=1777187438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-yoga-rob-walker-9780228823452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
