People often equate yoga with Eastern religion, but Brooke Boon sees it as an exercise style that Christians can use to generate patience, strength, and deeper worship. Author and yoga instructor Brooke Boon combines her passion for Christianity with her commitment to health to introduce yoga as a physical and spiritual discipline that strengthens the body and the soul. Clear explanations and photographs make yoga accessible for any reader, and Brooke offers customized routines for readers struggling with specific issues, such as weight loss and anxiety. Through it all Brooke uses scriptural references to help reinforce the idea that by taking care of our bodies we can also take care of our faith.

Bei Yoga ist die perfekte Ausführung der einzelnen Übungen eine wichtige Voraussetzung für eine optimale Wirkung auf Körper und Geist. Diesen Aspekt greift der US-Bestseller »Hatha Yoga« auf: Mit über 700 detaillierten Fotos zeigt der Titel Schritt für Schritt die genaue Ausführung von insgesamt 77 Standard-Posen, die für jedes Alter geeignet sind. Im Abschlusskapitel werden zu Abläufen kombinierte Yoga-Figuren ebenfalls anschaulich dargestellt. Zudem beschreibt das Autorenteam zu jeder einzelnen Figur deren positive Wirkung, aber auch die Kontraindikationen.
