Klappentext zu „The Healing Power of Movement “
In The Healing Power of Movement, the joy of being physically active and how that can boost physical, mental, and spiritual health is explored and revealed in full. Written by an experienced yoga teacher, hill runner and fell walker, Hannah Glancy, the benefits of moving your body and connecting with nature in order to feel more in tune with the world take center stage... starting from a place of joy, to demystify the sometimes opaque and intimidating world of physical activity.Split into three parts, the first - Move with Your Body - guides readers through practical exercises to help connect with their own body and recognize what a magical tool for moving through the world it can be, and already is. Filled with tips and tricks, getting in touch with the body lays the groundwork for the healing to follow.In part two - Move with Your Breath - the healing power of deep yogic breathing, alternate nostril breathing (as made famous by Hillary Clinton) takes the reader deeper into the mind-body connection and explores how activating the breath can be the most healing part of physical movement.In part three - Move with Your Mind - the barriers that we all put up in face of getting active are gently broken down as resilience and acceptance are explored, with a quiz designed to help readers identify the mindset they bring to movement and helping readers to understand how they can change their own approach for the better.Throughout the book there are specific practical exercises to try at home that help explain the concepts explored, including two full yoga sequences with illustrations that guide the reader through the poses.Featuring tips for running, walking and cold-water swimming, The Healing Power of Movement is the perfect introduction to understanding exercise for people who want to live a fulfilling active life that puts healing and nature at its heart.
Lese-Probe zu „The Healing Power of Movement “
Multiple reasons have led me to a more active lifestyle. Location is one of them. When mountains surround you, they become your home; lakes become your pools, and fields become your often-trodden path. Friends and family are also crucial; being involved by those who teach us techniques enables us to increase our confidence in new activities we may have otherwise never tried. My biggest reason, though, was a diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis) at 23, a condition that quite literally fatigues you and slowly degrades the quality of your immune system, balance, stability, and strength. Getting that diagnosis spurred me to try more, become a yoga teacher, trek to great altitudes and live as fully as possible. However, it also filled me with an apprehension that if I didn't start moving more I'd 'lose it', lose my ability to have the chance to try these things. I didn't realise it then, but movement in any way, shape, or form is one of life's most energy-giving and soul-sustaining aspects and led me to a healing path I'd never willingly have stepped on.Movement, for me, has looked like many things. Some days it is simply increasing steps. Some days it is hiking up a hill. Some days it's drumming enthusiastically and vigorously in a samba band. There's no right or wrong way to move - there is only the time, space, and focus we give it.When I think about my journey through movement, it has taken many forms. Every part of that journey has been for different reasons, but every portion has been reinvigorating physically, mentally, and spiritually. Movement has challenged me and forced me to reconsider ideas, to become more at peace, and to enjoy the moment. Learning to enjoy your body - its strengths and its stumbling blocks - has a profound effect not found anywhere else, and an effect I hope to help you recreate through this book.
