Beginner Exercise

Many people have a whole range of preconceived misconceptions about yoga. They think that yoga is only for women who are fit and flexible and live a certain lifestyle. Are you one of those people? This book is here to shatter those misconceptions and teach you that yoga is for everyone. Whether you're male or female, young or old, unfit and overweight, or the fittest you've ever been, this book will introduce you to yoga and the astounding benefits it can start having in your life.

Many people have used the term "wellness" to emphasize that positive health is much more than simply being free from illness - there is an additional quality to maintaining a health well-being. I use the term "fitness" to try and capture this same concept. Fitness is a condition reached through striving for optimal quality of life in all aspects: social, mental, psychological, spiritual, and physical. These aspects of fitness are interrelated: a high level in one of the areas enhances other areas.
