Travel Yoga
is your perfect guide to a stress-free journey.
Whether your trip is for business or pleasure, practicing yoga is your ultimate relaxation tool. Don't worryâyou won't need to stretch your body like a pretzel, and you don't need any prior yoga experience to receive benefits. In fact, the tighter and tenser you are, the more this book is meant for you. You can practice these easy and relaxing exercises whether you're sitting in a cramped airplane seat, waiting in a long line, resting in your hotel room, or jet-setting around the globeâwherever and whenever you might need a little calm.
Before we start, it's important to understand a bit about yoga. Yoga is a practical path to inner peace and wisdom that originated in India over five thousand years ago. It consists of hundreds of stretching exercises that create health and well-being. And because travel requires so much waiting and waiting and waiting, you'll have plenty of time to practice these stretches, no matter how overwhelmed you feel.
So let's get started! This guide is organized into five parts: “Packing Peace of Mind,” “Arrival and
Departure Patience,” “Stretching in Planes, Trains, Boats, and Automobiles,” “Relaxation in Your Home Away from Home,” and “Yoga Around the Globe.” All together, this little handbook offers over sixty quick and easy techniques to combat stress throughout your trip. So go ahead: flip through the pages and dive in. If you have a specific ache or pain, turn to the “Quick Help Guide” on page 7. And if you can't take the book with you on your travels, be sure to pull out the card at the back and toss it into your bag for instant relief.
You've now booked your ticket to the ultimate peaceful travel adventure.
Happy travels!
Be patientâmaster the art of waiting.
