{"product_id":"2940015205961","title":"A Beginner\u0026#x2019;s Guide To YOGA - Everything you need to know about starting yoga!","description":"As we march into this bright new millennium, we’re constantly reminded of the fusion of east and west. Whether it’s through satellite television programming that beams in productions from different cultures, enjoying books and music from distant lands that, only a generation or two ago, couldn’t be accessed, and – of course – communicating with people across time and space through the Internet and other telecommunications advancements, the world has become a much smaller place. Indeed, when Marshall McLuan coined the term Global Village, even he probably didn’t envision so much, so fast, so soon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, many people are reluctant to experience the physical, emotional, and psychological health benefits of yoga; and there is really only one major reason for this: misinformation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile many people might truly enjoy yoga and find it to be the side-effect free answer to a lot of their emotional and physical ailments, they just don’t know enough about the subject to take that first step. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, a stereotype out there that seems to persist despite evidence to the contrary is that yoga is a religious following; and that to experience its many health benefits somehow obliges one to renounce their faith or, worse, run away to some commune and eat tofu in between chanting sessions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile, yes, if you’d like to go to a retreat and enjoy tofu and chanting, that’s probably possible (almost anything is possible, as long as it’s legal and people want to do it, right?). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, even if you have experienced some kinds of yoga (perhaps a friend dragged you to a class at the local recreation center all those years ago), this book will reignite your interest in the topic and reattach you to a mode of body movement and mind focus that has lived in ancient lands for millennium.","brand":"Joye Bridal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084213272816,"sku":"2940015205961","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015205961_p0.jpg?v=1763628068","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015205961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
