| Publisher Description: Relieve and release the stiffness that comes from prolonged sitting--at a desk, behind the wheel, or on a meditation cushion--with these easy-to-follow exercises. All meditators know the discomfort of cramping joints and aching backs. Free yourself from pain with this beautifully illustrated guide. The book is organized anatomically, helping readers to immediately focus on the part of the body that causes them pain: tense shoulders, stiff knees, sore hips, etc. Sit with Less Pain also includes instructions for flowing series of movements, which combine several exercises into smooth sequences, for readers who have mastered the individual stretches and want a more intensive experience. Gorgeous, clear illustrations and lay-flat binding -- which lets the book stay open at the proper page -- will help readers perfect the poses. |
