illi News/10025699

NORTHFIELD, Ill. - illiNews -- For the curious and introspective yoga teacher, the passionate yoga student, or the fitness instructor who wants to step out of the bounds of teaching only yoga's physical postures, veteran yoga teacher Nancy Gerstein has written Motivational Yoga: 100 Lessons for Strength, Energy, and Transformation. Within Motivational Yoga's 100 inspiring lessons, Gerstein offers yogis the tools to empower their own decisions and personalize their results.
  Motivational Yoga encourages practitioners to move forward, be inquisitive, and discover their unlimited potential by going after the life they desire.  "While asana is an excellent tool for holistic health and wellness," says Gerstein, "yoga's mental and spiritual benefits far outweigh the physical exercises that have become synonymous with the practice. The lessons in Motivational Yoga are created to help the practitioner lead others, communicate clearly, and foster creativity."
