Book Description
'The wall' seems to be a metaphorical dead end on the spiritual way; however, we can interpret this metaphor literally. When a disciple is forced to interact with himself, he finds himself in front of a blind wall without his teacher, besides the wall becomes the dependable means for reflection. Actually, there is nobody outside you, if your Self is all-inclusive. Extremity is similar to inspiration; and after a brief irresolution you ask an inevitable question: how to work with the wall which blocked your path? Hatha Yoga is profoundly symbolical like any practice rooted in mystical Tantrism. In order to get outside of 'the wall' in the general sense, you should approach a real wall. . . And as a simplest solution you can practice yoga 'with the support of a wall'. Nevertheless the situation is not completed in the same way, since the wall extricates from a block to vertical, establish new dimension for life and practice.

Book Description
A comprehensive, user-friendly medical yoga program designed for the management and prevention of osteoporosis, with more than four hundred illustrations. Osteoporosis leads to painful fractures due to loss of bone mass; yoga strengthens bones without endangering joints: it stands to reason that yoga is the perfect therapy for osteoporosis. Forty-four million Americans suffer from low bone mass, and osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually. Drugs and surgeries can alleviate pain, but study after study has shown that exercise is the best treatment, specifically low-impact, bone-strengthening exercises—hence, yoga. In this comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated guide, Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall, who between them have seven decades of clinical experience, help readers understand osteoporosis and give a spectrum of exercises for beginners and experts. Classical yoga poses, as well as physiologically sound adapted poses, are presented with easy-to-follow instructions and photographs. The authors welcome readers of all ages and levels of experience into the healing and strengthening practice of yoga.
