'It's hard not to be persuaded by Bradbury's enthusiasm and positivity' THE TIMESJoin Julia Bradbury as she leads you through…
the walk of our lifetimes. There's a lot of talk about how we all must connect more with nature. But what does that mean? How do you do it? And what does it do for you in return? Can something as simple as going for a walk really improve your life? The simple answer is: YES. Walk Yourself Happy will explain the elemental link between our own health - both physical and mental - and the natural world. Julia knows first-hand the profound impact of nature: it has helped her survive breast cancer, overcome infertility and continue through failed IVF treatments; it balances the soul and acts as a confidante and therapist. Through science-backed information, practical tips and Julia's own story, Walk Yourself Happy will explore how nature can soothe anxiety and stress, how a mountain or a tree can keep you company in times of grief, and the importance of building nature into your everyday life, so you eat well, sleep better and move more.Walking, one of the most accessible activities for most of us, is the fastest and easiest way to embed yourself in nature. You don't need expertise or equipment; you just need to put one foot in front of another. You don't need an epic landscape either, you can walk down the street or in your local green space. Though, as you will learn from this book, a walk in the park is rarely just that. We all have shocks and surprises that stop us in our tracks, make us question who we are and why we are here. In walking, we have the power to change our pace. And when we do that, we can find union with nature, camaraderie with friends and a form of intimacy with self. We can walk ourselves happy and we can walk ourselves healthy, and we can rekindle the innate bonds, all-but extinguished by modern living, that we have always had to our natural environment. We can start today.Par Gorka Orive, Elisa Pérez-Ramírez, Ignacio López-Goñi. 2023
«Nuestra salud es global y todo está conectado. Debemos poner nuestro conocimiento científico al servicio del ser humano y de…
la naturaleza, porque este es el único camino para abordar los grandes retos a los que nos enfrentamos». Actualmente, cerca del 75 por ciento de las nuevas amenazas para nuestra salud proviene del mundo animal. El cambio climático favorece el intercambio de microorganismos patógenos (virus y bacterias) entre humanos y animales, con los que compartimos cerca de trescientas enfermedades. No existe ninguna razón para pensar que las infecciones emergentes o reemergentes disminuirán en el futuro, sino todo lo contrario. Por tanto, necesitamos más que nunca abordar los retos de salud de manera integral considerando a la población humana y al planeta como una unidad.En este libro, Ignacio López-Goñi, Elisa Pérez-Ramírez y Gorka Orive, tres prestigiosos expertos de diferentes disciplinas sanitarias, nos explican cómo todo está conectado (salud humana, animal y ambiental) y que para afrontar de forma exitosa los grandes desafíos a los que nos enfrentamos -futuras pandemias, resistencia a los antibióticos, nuevos virus, zoonosis...-, aplicar una estrategia de Salud Global (One Health) es urgente e imprescindible.Par Víctor Reyes. 2023
Alcanza tu mejor versión alineando tu verdadera identidad con tus objetivos y acciones. Víctor Reyes, figura referente desde hace años…
en el mundo del fitness, expone en este libro la fórmula para romper la barrera que te separa de la mejor versión de ti mismo y desplegar así todo tu potencial. La verdadera causa por la que te cuesta tanto introducir cambios a largo plazo en tu vida es que el orden de los factores que sigues para lograrlo está invertido; hay una incongruencia entre lo que dices que quieres, las acciones que debes realizar para conseguirlo y la persona que eres en realidad. Hasta que tu identidad no esté alineada con lo que haces y con tus objetivos, habrá fricción y los resultados, tarde o temprano , se resentirán. Atrévete a ser más plantea que la solución para alinear tu identidad con el cambio que deseas se halla en la respuesta a tres preguntas: quién eres, cómo quieres cambiar, y qué has de hacer para lograrlo. VÍCTOR REYES es especialista en fitness y nutrición, emprendedor y creador de la plataforma Fitness Real, desde la que genera contenidos y asesora en temas de alimentación, entrenamiento físico y cambio de vida y desarrollo personal.Par Stacy Denney. 2005

In Spa Mama, day spa owner and new mom Stacy Denney presents facials for hormonally challenged skin, massages to ease all those new aches and pains, reflexology to fight morning sickness, healthy snacks for eating for two, and gentle prenatal yoga.

Witty and wise commentary throughout brings much-needed humor to those panic-filled Will I ever see my toes again? moments, while stylish illustrations demonstrate that a bump is the ultimate fashion accessory. A relaxed mommy makes for a healthy, happy baby. Spa Mama leads the way.Par Alanna Kaivalya, Arjuna van der Kooij. 2020
The ancient lore behind yoga poses: “Transports us to a world where gods and goddesses, saints, and enlightened animals serve…
as our teachers.” —MC YogiPractitioners around the world reap the physical benefits of yoga, assuming poses frequently called by their Sanskrit names. While many know that hanumanasana is named for the deity Hanuman, few know why. But behind each asana and its corresponding movements is an ancient story about a god, sage, or sacred animal, much like Aesop’s fables or European folktales. Myths of the Asanas is the first book to collect and retell these ancient stories. The myths behind yoga’s spiritual tradition have the power to help students of all levels realize their full potential. Meditating on the tolerance of trees while standing in tree pose can help one become more tolerant. Learning how the disfigured sage Astavakra came to be the teacher of a king can liberate us from anxieties about our external appearance and our self-imposed limitations. Marveling at Hanuman’s devotion to Ram can serve as a source of spiritual strength and determination. With more than sixty beautiful illustrations to frame the stories, Myths of the Asanas will add a new dimension to your practice and study of yoga.“Truly enhances our yogic lessons. Some of the nuances of ethics, posture, breath, and meditation can only be touched through metaphor and mythology and we thank them for taking us on this journey.” —Rodney Yee, author of Moving Toward BalancePar Márcia De Luca, Lcia Barros. 2014

Not only does the practice build self-confidence and mindfulness in kids, but it’s also a great opportunity for to us bond and have fun with our most precious investments.” —Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, author of Change Your Schedule, Change Your Life“A unique approach to the instruction of children’s yoga . . . appealing, a blend of playful and practical.” —Kirkus ReviewsPar Kathryn E. Livingston. 2014

large and small&” (Publishers Weekly). At the age of fifty, author, parenting expert, and Huffington Post blogger Kathryn E. Livingston thought everything in her life would click into place.

age, geography, culture, and class, and is one of the most economical and environmentally responsible modes of transit. Yet with our modern fixation on speed, this healthy pedestrian activity has been largely left behind.At a personal and professional crossroads, writer, editor, and obsessive walker Dan Rubinstein travelled throughout the U.S., U.K., and Canada to walk with people who saw the act not only as a form of transportation and recreation, but also as a path to a better world. There are no magic-bullet solutions to modern epidemics like obesity, anxiety, alienation, and climate change. But what if there is a simple way to take a step in the right direction? Combining fascinating reportage, eye-opening research, and Rubinstein’s own discoveries, Born to Walk explores how far this ancient habit can take us, how much repair is within range, and guarantees that you’ll never again take walking for granted.Par Dan Rubinstein. 2018

outlining his beliefs that food was an important factor in health. His sage advice was an anathema to his Victorian peers and he was struck off in an age where medicines were made of mercury and arsenic. His outrageous beliefs included exercise being good for health, the need for a work-life balance for better efficiency and health, avoiding tea and coffee in the evening to promote better sleep and obesity being caused by eating too much. These misguided beliefs are so relevant to todays market and written in a wonderfully anachronistic but accessible manner. Best-selling author and food and health expert Anna Selby has edited his five books into one volume, incorporating chapters such as vegetarianism, exercise and the work-life balance, as well as a chapter containing some of his quirkier beliefs.Par Dr Thomas Allinson. 2009

Physical activity and its relationship to health is one of the great issues of our age. The causes of, and…
solutions to, physical inactivity are complex and multi-dimensional, and therefore the subject needs to be studied and understood from a variety of perspectives. This is the first textbook to provide a truly multi-disciplinary introduction to physical activity studies. Offering a complete foundation to the subject, it covers the basics of every core discipline from biochemistry, public health and biomechanics to physiology, sport psychology and sociology. It introduces a full range of topics across the physical activity curriculum, including behaviour change, motor skill development, nutrition, exercise prescription, public health policy, and physical education, providing a well-balanced and international perspective on each important issue. There is also a strong emphasis throughout the book on the practical, applied dimensions of physical activity, including innovative approaches to promotion and intervention tailored to every age range and environment. Physical Activity: A Multi-disciplinary Introduction is an indispensable companion to any course or degree programme with an emphasis on physical activity and health. A variety of exclusive eResources to aid teaching and learning are also available via the Routledge website.Par Alan Blum. 2017
The anxiety over death persists in everyday life- though often denied or repressed- lingering as an unconscious worry or intuition…
that typically seems to compromise one’s feelings of well-being and experience in a range of areas; coming out often as malaise, depression, and anger in much conduct. If one accepts the cliché that life is preparation for death, we must accept that the lived experience of the dying body is not highlighted merely in obvious cases of deterioration such as in the ageing or diseased body, but in everyday life as a normal phenomenon. This book proposes that sensitivity to this dimension can empower us to develop creative relationships to the vulnerability of others and to ourselves as well. Part One lays the groundwork for a study of the ways the aura and fear of death recurs as a constant premonition in life and how people try to deal with this uneasiness. Part Two then goes on to apply this focus to particular concerns and problems such as dementia, depression, aging, retirement, and a range of anxieties, frustrations and aggressions. The Dying Body as Lived Experience will be of interest to a wide interdisciplinary audience in the health sciences, in the sociology of health and illness, philosophy, bioethics and in the expanding field of medical humanities.Par David Life, Sharon Gannon. 2013

service to others. The benefits of both giving and receiving an assist—the extraordinary mind/body/spirit connection between yoga teacher and student—depend on knowing what an assist is, and fully understanding the method of Jivamukti itself. Though &“corrections&”—with teachers who fixed students&’ mistakes—had evolved to &“adjustments,&” the world-renowned founders of the Jivamukti Yoga method recognized this still suggested that changes to one&’s technique were necessary. In this book, they use &“assist&” to communicate the idea of two beings interacting on various levels of consciousness to bring into focus the five central tenets of Jivamukti: Shastra (or scripture), devotion, nonviolence, music, and meditation. From cultivating trust and patience to final relaxation and massage, this step-by-step, fully illustrated guide—featuring dozens of asanas—explores the giving of yoga as an art, a flowing dance of body, breath, and energy between two connected beings. Whether we receive or give, an assist is an active process in the resolution of a relationship between teacher and student, a microcosm of the flowing interrelation among all people, and all species.
