Book Reviews of YogaNap: Restorative Poses for Deep Relaxation

Book Review: Yummy yoga rest
Summary: 5 Stars

The perfect gift for the busy professional who needs to slow down, the stressed-out student, and every person who has avoided yoga due to fear of hot rooms and sore muscles, YogaNap is a fun and unintimidating introduction to the oft-ignored practice of restorative yoga.

Restorative yoga is about de-stressing and healing in lieu of exerting and hurting, and YogaNap captures the spirit of this practice well. The book is organized into chapters based on common physical ailments (such as sleeplessness and back aches), but the reader need not be ailing to benefit from the sleepy asanas and well-supported poses. Anyone who feels that the world sometimes moves a little too fast or feels stress building in their bones will find poses in the book to slow life down a bit and soothe those sweet spots.

The style of the book reflects the author's dual career as a yoga instructor and no-nonsense lawyer with crisp writing and clear instructions that avoid the mumbo-jumbo tending to plague other popular yoga books nowadays (as a lawyer myself (and aspiring yogi), I appreciate the author's straight-forward style), while the book's cute illustrations will inspire you to crawl into some polka-dot pajamas and yoganap for a while.


Summary of YogaNap: Restorative Poses for Deep Relaxation

Millions of Americans work all day and worry all night, then wake up, get back on the ride, and do it all over again. As a yoga instructor who is also an entertainment lawyer, Kristen Rentz understands what it means to feel wound up and stressed out. She initially developed her YogaNap program to help herself deal with the physical and mental rigors of law school, and quickly found that her students and peers eagerly gravitated to her methods. Using props to support the body, the YogaNap system holds readers in restorative yoga poses that are appropriate for everyone regardless of age or flexibility. YogaNap yields a deeper level of relaxation than an afternoon snooze, leaving the body feeling calm, almost weightless, and thoroughly stress free.
