2100 ásan - Kompletní jógové pozice – Lacerda Daniel (2020)

This book presents an extensive collection of 2,100 yoga poses, as well as an artistic portrayal of the beauty and physical mastery of the human body during yoga practice. Each inspiring photograph shows an experienced yogi performing a pose to perfection. The poses are divided into nine main categories—standing poses, seated poses, core-focused poses, poses on all fours, backbends, arm balances, inversions, prone poses and supine poses—and are further arranged into groups of asanas that generally progress from the easiest execution to more demanding variations. Each photograph includes the name of the pose in Czech and Sanskrit, alternative names where applicable, descriptions of its variations, the drishti point, or place of focus, and the chakras affected by the pose. The creator and photographer of this collection is yoga teacher Daniel Lacerda, who personally trained and selected more than 40 experienced models from his team. The introduction provides essential information for all yoga practice, including a basic history of yoga, an introduction to the Yoga Sutras, the meaning and use of ujjayi breathing, explanations of bandha, drishti and chakra, meditation and relaxation, and beneficial poses, as well as warnings, relating to eight conditions such as asthma, pregnancy and high blood pressure. The book is in Czech and serves as a comprehensive companion to the practice and lifestyle of the modern yogi.
