Stress, pain and anxiety are all a result of our fast-paced and sometimes impersonal and unforgiving society. If you add a lack of physical activity, recurring ailments like back, hip, or shoulder pain may affect your quality of life. It is important to understand how essential it is to adopt regular movement and activity that helps to reintegrate the mind-body connection. You will then begin to experience the benefit of that integration in your daily life through better sleep and enhanced mood.


That is why Yin, a Yoga discipline, can be beneficial to young and old, male, and female alike and is easily accessible to everyone. Practising Yin Yoga postures which are maintained for several minutes allows the mind to calm and reconnect. You will also discover a particular meditation or creative visualization that works well for you to integrate your mind, body, and spirit.






My Review

This is a book which follows , in a medical stance, the principles of Yin Yoga. As its title states it is more geared towards those who are looking at yoga as a means of healing, as a large amount of the book is about the benefits of Yin Yoga to treat, and heal different ailments along with the chakras and meridian points.

When it comes to the section on the poses I felt that there were a good selection of helpful poses that would have benefited from having more photographic content showing the different stages to attaining the pose, rather than having to read, and remember, it all beforehand, however that is just the way i prefer to practice new poses.

The videos were a helpful addition to the book and filmed in a beautiful outdoor setting which all of us yogis would love to practice in

To conclude I personally think that the exercises in this  book should be used in conjunction with a qualified Yin Yoga teacher, especially if you are looking at using it to heal an ailment rather than just for your own everyday practice. However it makes for interesting reading in regards as to how to use yoga to treat various ailments.

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital.

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

  Danger With Lashings Of Caviar  by Liz Hinds Danger With Lashings Of Caviar was published on 20th March 2024. My thanks to the author for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis When Tabby wakes up in a rubbish skip - again - she decides the time has come for action. The bad guys might have got away with it so far but it's time to turn the tables. With the help of her mum, a disgraced policeman, a farting dog, and two homeless friends Tabby is determined to bring the handsome criminal millionaire to justice. And she was only supposed to be making a few sandwiches. My Review This is the first book in the Tabitha's Table mystery series and if this first book is anything to go by it should prove to be a tongue in cheek cosy mystery set of books that will have you laughing out loud. At times you will be asking yourself "Really" whilst at other times you will be taking in the light hearted way that ...
