Brightening Our Inner Skies - Blair, Norman

. .

Résumé :
Beautifully written and designed, Brightening Our Inner Skies: Yin and Yoga practically and provocatively explores yoga, self-transformation and social responsibility. This book takes the practice of yoga and self to profound levels through stories, images and well-researched debates.

It provides the principles and practicalities of Yin, highlighting how it acts as a bridge to a meditation practice and can allow the practitioner to experience the energy channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine (with a helpful chart of meridians, health issues and emotions). Designed as a book to practice from, it opens flat, with the narrative in short sections and evocative photos of nature bringing in a breathing space of mind and eye.
Useful and inspirational to newcomers to yoga as well as experienced teachers, Brightening Our Inner Skies draws together decades of practice, teaching experience with thousands of students and a deep desire to help the practitioner change themselves and change the world, one posture, one practice at a time. Students and teachers have said it is that rare thing: a yoga book that's a page turner!
