Aštánga jóga - Efektivní praxe k dosažení síly, ohebnosti a vnitřního klidu – MacGregor Kino (2018)

Ashtanga yoga is a graceful, athletic form of yoga that has gained worldwide popularity in recent years. Kino MacGregor, a well-known instructor and student of Sri Pattabhi Jois, the creator of this exercise system, offers a comprehensive view of this practice and demonstrates that 'ashtanga' is fundamentally a path of spiritual transformation and personal development. The author, well-versed in the history and tradition of ashtanga yoga, clarifies the ways in which yoga philosophy reflects in our everyday lives and contemporary eating habits. She also explains the importance of the connection between breathing, holding positions, and focusing the gaze, which are at the core of this practice. Step by step, she guides interested individuals through the basic sequence and introduces them to the secrets of standing and seated asanas, the principles of twisting positions, the proper practice of hip exercises, and the principles of so-called finishing poses, providing valuable practical information not only for beginners but also for experienced yogis who can further refine their practice.
