Gravity & Grace: How to Awaken Your Subtle Body and the Healing Power of Yoga

A yoga-inspired guide for self-healing through the subtle body When you step onto the mat, who is your teacher? “Each of us―no matter who we learn from or what style of yoga we practice―can become our own teacher and create a deeply personal and healing yoga practice,” writes internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and trainer Peter Sterios. “The key is to learn the language of our own subtle body.”As most practitioners come to realize, yoga works on much more than the physical body―it also works on the unseen, energetic forces that enliven our physical experience. With Gravity & Grace, Sterios provides a clear, comprehensive guide for accessing the power of the subtle body through yoga. His popular yoga video series of the same name made Yoga Journal’s top 15 yoga DVDs of all time, and here, Sterios brings the same lighthearted and joyful approach to the page.Using hatha yoga as a starting point, Sterios guides readers to create healing yoga practices that serve each person’s unique tapestry of personality, background, and body type. Through lessons and practice principles that anyone, with any level of health or experience, can follow, readers will gain a deeper understanding of subtle body anatomy, its physical and psychological effects on our health, and how to harness its energy for optimum healing.HIGHLIGHTS Sterios has been teaching and practicing yoga around the world for over 40 years, including at the Obama White HouseHis popular yoga video Gravity & Grace is one of Yoga Journal’s “top 15 DVDs of all time”Includes easily understandable English translations and elegant illustrations for many of yoga’s esoteric topics, making its concepts highly accessibleThere are 200 million yoga practitioners worldwide and 36 million in the US
