I love this book! A friend recommended it to me, because of my stressful schedule, and it has helped me so much. I started incorporating a couple of Kristen's exercises in my day and the tension in my neck is starting to go away. It is amazing how I feel immediate benefits when I stop running around for ONE minute and simply bend over and breathe. I do yoga on a regular basis, but these exercises have helped me to blend more peace and relaxation into my work day. I find myself doing half dog on my desk, twisting when I get in my car, and taking slow beautiful breaths in traffic. These fun and simple exercises really help me go through my day with more awareness and joy.
I am buying this book for everyone I know this holiday. It is perfect to give with some PJ's or a relaxation mix cd!
I've come to the realization that with age and work comes stress...mind-numbing, balled-up-muscles, backaches, headaches...stress. Desperate to find relief in any fashion I came across "YogaNap." The author, Kirsten Rentz, has done a great job at explaining positions in true "Yoga for Idiots" fashion (aka: simply). The illustrations (softly done in blues, and greens) go one step further in making the whole process as easy as pie (mmmmm, pie). Anyway, the poses are a perfect way to end a long (mind-numbing, balled-up-muscles, backaches, headaches) stressful kind of day. Thanks Kirsten!!
