Many of my fellow Yoga Teacher Trainee Alumni will squeal with delight when I tell them that I found Judith Hansen Lasater's "Relax & Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times" at a local new & used book store called Tsunami Books here in Eugene. Judith Lasater is a well respected yoga teacher and as I understand it the Guru of Restorative Yoga. If you don't know, Restorative Yoga is a way of relaxing into yoga poses with the use of props. It's a form of gentle stretching that aids to relax the body and breath so the mind can follow. Feel free to ask me for more information.
Back to the book, this is a great guide to restorative yoga regardless of your yogic experience. Lasater explains the purpose of restorative yoga and the props quickly and efficiently and this carries over to the poses with great guidelines on how to set-up, get into, relax in, and get out of several restorative poses. She even has sequence examples for a full Restorative class.
I am hoping to attend Judith Lasater's Restorative Teacher Training in March in Boise Idaho. Until then this book is an efficient substitute.
