Free Ebook: "Intro to Yoga: Getting Started on the Right Foot."

(Excerpt )

This book was written for you if you are determined to find something that will help you create balance in your life, relieve stress and maybe even help you lose weight. You are looking for a way to improve the quality of your life, while exercising your body, mind, and soul, right? You've heard the buzz, seen it on TV, read it in the newspaper, and perhaps even watched a few video clips on the internet. You've heard stories of people receiving great benefits from Yoga, now you are determined to try this 21st Century Wonder Drug for yourself.

In this day and age, we are all crunched for time.

Imagine this life scenario:

You work 8 to 12 hour work days 5 and sometimes 6 days each week, week in and week out. You are exhausted by the time you wake up! Sleep doesn't seem to be giving you that restful feeling you were hoping it would. You've built up such a tolerance to coffee; it doesn't even affect your energy levels anymore. You frown when you look into the full length mirror at the extra weight you have gained and how this makes you look in your clothes.

You mindlessly reach for your vending machine snack, while you type away during your lunch break, trying feverishly to finish your workload by the deadlines. No sunshine can be seen in the office and your pale skin hasn't seen real sunlight in quite some time.

After work, you sit in traffic for what seems an eternity, only to arrive home where there is more work to be done. Laundry is piled high, dishes need to be washed, and dinner needs to be made. You throw a frozen meal in the microwave, grab the remote control and head for the couch. You then proceed to spend the next few hours staring mindlessly into a square picture box, complaining that there's nothing ever on, or delighted that your favorite rerun of Friends or American Idol is safely stored in your Tivo's memory. After several hours of this Å“relaxation you feel even more exhausted and head off to bed.

At night, you either toss and turn, unable to sleep right away, or fall immediately into an exhausted slumber where rest is minimal, despite your comfortable mattress and plush down comforter. The next morning the alarm goes off only to start the unfulfilling cycle over again.

The scenario detailed above may or may not describe your life. But, if there are even some similarities, you are probably involved in some sort of life pattern that is not currently bringing you to a state of balance and continual positive improvement.

The only way to break this pattern is to change your behavior.

If what you are currently doing is not leading to the best, most joyful life experience, it is time to try something new.

Yoga is an ancient system that has been helping people find balance in their lives for thousands of years. Only just recently has it caught on in the Western world. Suddenly, Yoga is everywhere. But when you see the women in the designer yoga outfits, with plush yoga mat carrying bags, you may immediately decide you don't fit the “yoga crowd".

I'm here to change your mind. The practice of Yoga can help everyone, no matter what is your current physical, mental, or emotional condition.

Naturally, as a beginner, you may have a few questions and/or concerns. This book will provide you with answers based upon facts, enabling you to make the best choices possible for yourself. In this book, I will dispel some common myths about Yoga in addition to providing a detailed guide to help you to decipher:

• What are your current mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional needs and goals?

• Whether Yoga can help you to reach those goals?

• What style of Yoga may be best suited for you and your goals?

• How to "find the time" to focus on yourself and practice Yoga?

• Exactly what will you need to know to get the most out of Yoga.."
