Bodylife

Arthur Balaskas

Know, enjoy and increase the potential of your body. A highly original work by Arthur Balaskas, famous for his very successful BBC TV yoga series 'Everybody Knows'. With the aid of over three hundred photographs, he explains simply and graphically how to understand and explore the full potential of your body, and how to improve your enjoyment of life through Bodylife. With its clear guidance and basic exercises, this book is designed for everybody, not just the specialist in physical fitness, yoga or meditation. There are special chapters devoted to the aged, children, pregnant women, families and couples exercising together, and for the busy executive exercising at his desk. Balaskas also describes the workings of the body, to show how pain, tension and stiffness can be alleviated, even from crucial areas such as the back. Above all, he reintroduces you to your most neglected sense- proprioception - the very awareness of your physical self.
