Again this book is from Cico, so it’s beautiful to look at, easy to use and very good value. There are colour illustrations throughout which both illustrate the mudras and other exercises and which enhance the look of the book. Basically then it’s all about practical yoga apart from the hatha yoga exercises on the mat that people are familiar with. It’s a lovely combination of breathing exercises, which are very popular right now because they get straight to the heart of anxiety and wellbeing issues, and mudras – or hand positions – which are more esoteric but potentially as effective. The book has two main sections - Breathing and Mudras for the Body and Breathing and Mudras for the Soul - and within those sections, there are listed various conditions with a breathwork and mudra suggestion for each.
