Yoga on the Ball

Medical exercise specialist Carol Mitchell offers an innovative new workout that combines the science of yoga with the technology of the exercise ball. Executing yoga postures while using the exercise ball is true “meditation in motion.” It allows you to engage several muscle groups simultaneously while challenging your balance and spatial awareness in order to create a total-body workout. With only a slight roll of the ball, the deep yoga stretches can be altered to target different areas of the muscles, allowing each yoga posture to be as beneficial as possible.

Yoga on the Ball presents 67 postures—from introductory to advanced poses—detailed in step-by step instructions and accompanied by more than 225 photographs. You can customize your practice, choosing between sculpting your muscles with toning and strengthening poses or relaxing your body and mind with stretching and breathing exercises. The author also offers three progressive yoga workouts for all levels of ability.
