Details

Blending traditional yoga with Eastern healing practices, beloved yoga teacher Sarah Powers offers a holistic approach to lifelong health, balance, and emotional clarity. This edition features a new preface, an expanded section on mindfulness of feelings, and an updated resource list.

Acclaimed yoga and meditation teacher Sarah Powers shares her distinctive approach, Insight Yoga, which combines traditional yoga with the meridian system of Chinese medicine and Buddhist mindfulness meditation.

Drawing on the Yin Yoga approach popularized by Paul Grilley, Powers presents a variety of sequences that balance Yin (passive) and Yang (active) poses to support healthy organs, muscles, joints, and tendons—and to calm and focus the mind. She pairs these practices with guidance in traditional Chinese medicine principles and mindfulness meditation. Through photographed sequences that blend slow, steady stretches with dynamic movement, Powers invites readers on an inspiring inner journey toward lasting physical well-being and emotional clarity.

Praise

"Sarah Powers seamlessly integrates her unique expressions of yin and yang yogas, with traditional Chinese medicine, Taoism, and Buddhism, to create one of the most complete and balanced systems of modern yoga. This is a teaching of great warmth and intelligence that will heal your body, invigorate your mind, and inspire your soul." —Richard Rosen, author of The Yoga of Breath

"Sarah Powers brings us a truly brilliant integration of yin and yang yoga, mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy and psychology, and the genius of traditional Chinese medicine. This book belongs in the library of every serious practitioner of yoga and meditation." —Stephen Cope, Director, Kripalu Institute, author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self

"When I first met Sarah it didn't take me long to figure out that she was a yogini of relentless curiosity and great depth. In Insight Yoga she lets the reader into her thinking, her practice, and her life in a way that both inspires and instructs. Insight Yoga is destined to become a classic." —Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, author of A Year of Living Your Yoga

"Sarah Powers's synthesis of wisdom traditions is awesome. Indeed, each tradition is like a transparent map, which when overlaid one upon another, gives a more complete rendering of the Living Event in which we are all participants. Insight Yoga will be of tremendous interest and benefit to many people." —Erich Schiffmann, author of Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving Into Stillness
