In 2000, while practicing yoga and meditation at Sri Aurobindo's first ashram in Baroda, India, Sondra Fraleigh envisioned a creative approach to yoga grounded in the somatic principles of infant development, imagery from nature, and intrinsic movement. Land to Water Yoga is a guidebook for the gentle yoga she developed with her international students. With its many illustrations, this book is user-friendly. Unlike athletic styles, it maintains yoga's original purpose of spiritual healing, offering a path to clear vision and a calm mind that transcends the habitual ego.
What if we could learn to move with ease and pleasure instead of pain and distress? Land to Water Yoga is not a difficult yoga of mastery. It is a means of transformation, progressing through enjoyable shapes and restorative movements that anyone can do.
