Smart Yoga: Apply the Alexander Technique to Enhance Your Practice, Prevent Injury, and Increase Body Awareness

Description

David Moore draws on thirty years of knowledge and experience to present a useful, comprehensive guide for bringing the insights of the Alexander Technique to yoga for a safer, more effective practice.

David Moore has traveled all over the world to teach yoga and the Alexander Technique for thirty years. During that time, he has founded the School for F.M. Alexander Studies in Melbourne, Australia; worked as the director of said school; and served both as the Chair and as a member of the Australian Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. He has also published a number of articles on the Alexander Technique and its health benefits.

"[Smart Yoga] has many merits, including clarity of purpose and lightness of style. David's overview of yoga is concise and clear-headed, and therefore useful to both someone who has practiced yoga steadily and to someone coming to it for the first time. His introduction to the Alexander Technique is comprehensive without being overwhelming." -Pedro de Alcantara, author of Indirect Procedures: A Musician's Guide to the Alexander Technique and The Alexander Technique: A Skill for Life "There's humor, insight, and beauty as well as clear explanations of complex ideas in this book. Those new to yoga or the Alexander Technique or both will be enticed to read on, while those with extensive knowledge of either or both will appreciate, enjoy, and mull over the personal and comprehensive body of learning encapsulated in this book." -In the Moment
