Description: In the fully illustrated sequel to Power Yoga (close to 100,000 copies sold), Beryl Bender Birch supplements her high-heat, high-energy workout program with a new focus on mindfulness. Based on the eight-limbed path to mind-body wellness of classical astanga yoga, Power Yoga Plus weaves together yoga practice and philosophy as it teaches how to tap into the body's energy centers through breathing exercises, meditations, and visualizations. Together with the famous sweat-producing workouts, these exercises are formulated into routines for every fitness level. Instructions are presented for three levels of practice, including 15-, 30-, and 40- minute workouts. All the workouts are shown in easy-to-follow photographs accompanied by a straightforward, explanatory text.

The first and still the only person to present a practical, "Americanized" version of astanga yoga, Birch has won the support of the prestigious New York Road Runners Club, with more than 30,000 international members, and has helped thousands of others discover the benefits of active, dynamic yoga. With its increased scope, Power Yoga Plus takes readers beyond stress reduction and physical fitness to renewed vitality and rejuvenation.
