First line

One night, after I got back to California, I was on my way home from a yoga class. I was sitting in the backseat of a car thinking about going to India. At the moment, I was actually visualizing climbing a mountainside covered with wildflowers in the foothills of the Himalayas (which, not coincidentally, I would eventually do). My friend turned to me and said, "You want to go to India, don't you?" This was too freaky! "Uh, yeah," I mumbled. "Well, you'll go," she said. A year later I was on my way. How did this work? Was it just a question of creating a thought form, and then holding that until it began to manifest? I starting tracing back the string of events of the past year or so. Every event had contributed to every other event. Everything was interconnected. If it hadn't been for this, then that wouldn't have happened. If it hadn't been for that, then this wouldn't have happened. It started to dawn on me how this all worked. I started to watch a little more closely what I envisioned and asked for.

Publisher's note

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.

Annotation

While her first best-selling book POWER YOGA covered the physical practice of Ashtanga yoga, Beryl Bender Birch's sequel, BEYOND POWER YOGA, delves more fully into the different levels of yoga practice as they conform to the eight "limbs" of yoga. This follow-up also offers personal stories from the author about the interconnectedness between her spirituality, mindfulness, and an all-around intense workout. The author's own stories and personal reflections give this book a profoundly human touch and make it abundantly clear that yoga is not just about breaking a sweat.
