35 simple exercises, suited to busy schedules and cramped spaces (though not only), to keep your body and mind in shape.
Have you given up on your yoga sessions, perhaps wedged between the coffee table, the family sideboard, and a chandelier hanging just a bit too low? No motivation to do 20 laps around the park in neon leggings? No free time to switch to airplane mode? To take care of yourself?
This little guide is made for you! It offers 35 simple exercises, suited to busy schedules and cramped spaces (though not only), to keep your body and mind in shape.
Simple but not simplistic, these exercises draw on practices long proven by Isabelle Laading, author of Les Cinq Saisons de l’énergie (The Five Seasons of Energy) and a respected teacher of yoga, shiatsu, and traditional Chinese medicine, and by Sébastien Laading, who initiated the book, with humorous illustrations by Marie Lemaistre.
Warning! Some exercises might have you looking forward to the next red light!
