Richard Freeman: Yoga Chants
Richard Freeman Chants - its a 2 cd set. The first CD is instructional, he explains some of the history and technique, and you sing along by repeating first a word, then a line, of each chant. I think there are 3-4 chants he teaches in this way -including the ashtanga invocation, which I've always liked. He explains things very clearly. The second cd is him chanting and playing the harmonium. He has a good voice, not a great voice, but there is something incredibly soothing about listening to him. -Jane
Cindy Dollar: Yoga Your Way : Customizing Your Home Practice
This is a great book for home practice. It's spiral bound and the pages are split so that on the left the pages are practice sequences and on the right each page is one of 44 asanas. The 31 practice sequences range from 10 to 90 minutes. On the back of each asana page are several modifications with various props. The author is an Iyengar teacher and the instructions are very detailed. What I like most about it is that the variety of sequences will prevent me from doing the same practice all the time which is what usually happens when I do yoga on my own. -Danielle
Andrea Olsen: Bodystories: A Guide To Experiential Anatomy
This book is the most accesible of all the more touchy-feely anatomy books I have - daily exercises of body exploration. -Lianne

yoga + writing + community = Bindu Wiles' 21.5.800

I'm going to give this a go. It starts today

Bindu Wiles has issued an invitation to join her and a whole caravan of other peeps in a 21 day focus on yoga and writing.

My writing will be in my journal and I will share my daily yoga practice here. Each day I plan to do a practice that is freely available on the internet or share one of my favourite practice routines. If you are looking for something to guide your own practice feel free to join me.

Today I started with a short but lovely simple vinyasa routine from Kira Ryder:

I'm in. I've been in a yoga slump since getting back from holidays. But to tell the truth, what I really need right now is stillness, so I might take her savasana option more often than not.
I think I might already be writing 800 words a day, but this is good encouragement to keep it up!
