Yoga for Meditators: Poses to Support Your Sitting Practice

Divided into four parts, this book is designed for beginning and seasoned practitioners:

Taking a Seat: Steady and Comfortable: addresses the most common physical issues that can cause discomfort during sitting in meditation.

Yoga Poses for Sitting Meditation: outlines asanas to guide you to a more easeful practice. Whether you practice vipassana, Zen, Transcendental, kriya, or any other kind of sitting meditation, these poses will help you establish the base, awaken the spine, soften the shoulders, and quiet the body-mind.

Practicing Yoga: uses the asanas from part two to create sequences for calming agitation, increasing energy, opening the hips, relieving stress, easing the lower back, and during the moon cycle.

Alternate Meditation Postures: discusses the other traditional meditation positions—walking, standing, and lying—with ways to settle into each.
