This is the definitive guide to using yoga poses to practice seated meditation with ease. Charlotte Bell has blended the practices of yoga and meditation since 1986. "Yoga for Meditators" is a guide to the optimal poses for meditation. Divided into four parts, the book offers practices that are designed for beginning and seasoned practitioners: Taking a Seat: Steady and Comfortable - addresses the most common physical issues that can cause discomfort during sitting in meditation; Yoga Poses for Sitting Meditation - outlines asanas to guide you to a more easeful practice. Whether you practice vipassana, Zen, Transcendental, kriya, or any other kind of sitting meditation, these poses will help you collect the mind, awaken the spine, relax the base, soften the shoulders, and quiet the body-mind; Practicing Yoga - uses the asanas from part two to create sequences for calming agitation, increasing energy, opening the hips, relieving stress, easing the lower back, and during the moon cycle; and, Alternate Meditation Postures - discusses the other traditional meditation positions - walking, standing, and lying - with ways to settle into each.
