"Ken is a very experienced teacher
of both yoga and the Alexander Technique. This book is the fruit of
his experience coupled with study and observation. Ken knows the need
for an individual approach to learning and in the section dealing with
body types, gives a very helpful guide to each of us assessing what
is best for us personally. Using his knowledge of practical anatomy
Ken then leads us through the essential preparation needed before practice
can safely .begin. He also gives a practical check list of the quality
of practice needed for enjoyment and safety. These are vital things
that all to few yoga books deal with. All in all, the book gives students
( and teachers), clear and useful guidance in the way they can approach
yoga in the best way for them as a unique individual. I heartily recommend
it. "

- Have you been struggling for years, trying to achieve
certain yoga postures?
- Ever wondered why some people new to yoga, are able to
do most of the postures very easily?
- Ever thought you don't seem to have the 'right' body
for Hatha Yoga?
- After some initial success in the first year of practice,
do you find that you have reached a learning plateau?
- Do teachers tell you, "it's just a question of more
practice", is this true?
No, it's not true!
What most people know inwardly, and through close observation
can see, is that some people have got it all going for them when it
comes to performing yoga postures. These are your Natural Hatha Yogis.
This book by Ken Thompson gives you the insight to find
out, once and for all, are you naturally built for hatha yoga. By following
a few simple tests, which will quickly indicate if you are gifted with
loose ligaments, long limbs, and the right body type. You will then
have more positive understanding of your possible potential, enabling
you to plan more realistic and achievable goals.
