Fascial Fitness through Yoga

This book is an innovative combination of two major fitness trends - yoga and fascia training. If you want to live a healthy, mobile and pain-free life, it is essential that you take good care of your fascia. If not, it will become matted and stick together; as you age and as a result of repetitive one-sided stressors you'll become immobile and stiff. Yoga is an ideal form of fascia training, and renowned author and sports therapist Katharina Brinkmann has provided a dynamic, invigorating approach to it. The exercises in this book help to strengthen and stabilise the core, which is a central element in yoga. This improves posture and eliminates back pain. This fully illustrated book contains a comprehensive catalogue of exercises and a sun salutation specially adapted for the fascia - the fascia salutation. Fascial Fitness Through Yoga is the ideal companion for anyone who wants to practice yoga and also stay supple, mobile and pain-free throughout their life. Katharina Brinkmann is the founder of YOU Personal Training. In addition to being a yoga instructor and personal trainer, she is also a sports therapist. Amongst other things, her work focuses on fascia and mobility training, which she successfully combines in this book.
